Academic standards call for increased rigor, but simply raising complexity is not enough. Students must also know how to investigate, experiment, solve problems, and deepen their understanding of the content. They need to be able to apply their learning to authentic, reality-based situations.Engaging in Cognitively Complex Tasks: Classroom Techniques to Help Students Generate & Test Hypotheses Across Disciplines explores explicit techniques for mastering a crucial strategy of instructional practice: teaching students to generate and test hypotheses. It includes:* Explicit steps for implementation* Recommendations for monitoring students' ability to engage in cognitively complex tasks* Adaptations for students who struggle, have special needs, or excel in learning* Examples and nonexamples from classroom practice* Common mistakes and ways to avoid themThe Essentials for Achieving Rigor series of instructional guides helps educators become highly skilled at implementing, monitoring, and adapting instruction. Put it to practical use immediately, adopting day-to-day examples as models for application in your own classroom.

Robert J Marzano has spent over 50 years revolutionizing educational research and observation. Now in Understanding Rigor in the Classroom, Marzano brings that experience and expertise to one of the most complicated questions in education: what is rigor, and how can I use it to improve my student's learning?

In many classrooms, the teacher's role is to talk and the student's role is to listen. Michael Toth and David Sousa present an alternative: a pedagogical model called student-led academic teaming. In academic teams, students collaborate, peer coach, and peer teach while engaging in rigorous, standards-based tasks.

The most important gift teachers and school administrators can give students is to prepare them to be autonomous, fully accountable problem solvers, but it can also be one of the most challenging. Student Teaming: You Got This! is a survival guide for teachers ready to take on that challenge.

This clear, practical guide for teachers centers on practical formative assessment techniques for implementing five key strategies in the classroom.

In today's classrooms and schools, rigorous instruction and learning don't just happen by accident. In fact, ensuring rigorous instruction happen consistently, teachers must be willing to pay close attention to their respective learning environments. And that includes having the foresight to plan for the conditions within that learning environment before ever moving on to traditional content planning. Without the appropriate conditions in place, consistent levels of rigorous instruction, learning, and performance are unachievable. Therein lies the practical magic of Classroom Techniques for Creating Conditions for Rigorous Instruction by authors Jennifer Cleary, Terry Morgan, and Dr. Robert J. Marzano. It speaks to the conditions in the classroom that are required to achieve rigorous instruction, and provides teachers of all grade levels and subjects the strategies to get there, including: Establishing rules and procedures Recognizing adherence and lack of adherence to rules and procedures Using engagement strategies when students are not engaged Establishing and maintaining effective relationships Communicating high expectations for all studentsWith step-by-step activities for each of its five main strategies, the guide doesn't just provide useful information, it turns that information into actionable insights and templates for bringing solid ideas to life.
