Case: Rigor
I teach Honors and next year will teach an AP course. I struggle with the level of rigor within my classroom. I know at times I am too "soft" on the students, but I want the students to learn and enjoy the experience. I do not want to beat them over the head with "extra" work which many times is what taking Honors means. What are some ways I can rise my rigor without it just being extra work?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Instead of coming up with just extra work for students to complete, you could add a project for students to complete for each unit that requires students to demonstrate a deeper understanding of the material. This would not be busy work, but would make the students research the topic more in depth and demonstrate their deeper understanding of the topic. |

| Comments: While it is a good way to help students further understand the topic, I do not think adding more work in addition to the heavy load they already have would be helpful in this situation. |

| Comments: Just adding a project on top of the other work doesn't make a great impact on it being an honors class. All of the work should reflect higher level learning. |
