R/R Framework – One Teacher’s Perspective

Bret Murphy, Teacher, Gilbert Classical High

School, Gilbert, Arizona

Relevance and rigor, it just makes sense,learning gets bigger, the student’s less dense.They own the learning, it’s done their own way,it increases their yearning to come back the next day.At first we’re the guide, then they take the reins,then we’re off for a ride, no losses – all gains.The standardized test, perhaps left behind,while they do their best, let’s see what they find.Success you can measure, with challenge the trigger‘cause learning’s a pleasure with relevance and rigor.
