WHAT IS THIS STATEMENT SAYING?“AS EDUCATORS…WE HAVE NOTICED THAT WHILE THERE EXISTS A GENERAL CONCERN ABOUT RIGOR, THERE IS NOT A COHERENT UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT IT IS. WE PRESENT THE IDEA THAT RIGOR IS BETTER THOUGHT OF AS A CONTINUUM OF COGNITIVE SIMPLICITY–COMPLEXITY* EMBEDDED WITHIN THE LEARNING ACTIVITIES PREPARED FOR STUDENTS BY TEACHERS. “
*COGNITIVE COMPLEXITY IS AN INTELLECTUAL CHARACTERISTIC THAT INDICATES HOW COMPLEX OR SIMPLE IS THE PERCEPTUAL SKILL

DR. NORMAN WEBB’S DEPTH OF KNOWLEDGE
MAIN POINTS:
IT IS NOT A LINEAR SYSTEM.
ALL LEVELS ARE IMPORTANT.
YOU MAY NOT HAVE A LEVEL 4 THINKING PROCESS UNLESS IT IS
PLANNED OVER TIME (RESEARCH PAPER, SCIENCE PROJECT, ETC.)

LET’S SEE HOW WE DOGRADE 2 ACTIVITY
USE THE DOK CHART AT YOUR TABLE TO DETERMINE THE DIFFERENCE IN THE LEVEL OF THE ACTIVITY ON EACH CARD AND PUT THE ACTIVITIES IN ORDER BY LEVEL.
![Page 9: The Great Misconception About Rigor - AIE Conference · the great misconception about rigor the purpose of education is to develop the mind, not stuff the memory. --anonymous. what](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040522/5e7e8b07fa9c530f0e186efb/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
TO DISCOVER WHAT RIGOR LOOKS LIKE…..
LOOK AT THE THINKING PROCESSES USED IN THE ACTIVITY FOR THE
STUDENT EXPECTATION BEING TAUGHT.
ALIGN DAILY CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION WITH THE RIGOROUS THINKING
PROCESSES REQUIRED BY THE QUESTIONS ON THE STATE ASSESSMENT.
![Page 10: The Great Misconception About Rigor - AIE Conference · the great misconception about rigor the purpose of education is to develop the mind, not stuff the memory. --anonymous. what](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040522/5e7e8b07fa9c530f0e186efb/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
KNOW THE TARGET
• THE STATE ASSESSMENT TESTS THE STATE STANDARDS.
• IF WE DON’T KNOW AND TEACH THE THINKING PROCESSES USED ON THE TEST, HOW CAN STUDENTS HIT THE BULLSEYE?

WHAT’S IN IT FOR THE KIDS?
• EXPOSURE TO ACTIVITIES THAT REQUIRE MULTIPLE LEVELS OF
THINKING, QUESTIONING, AND SOLVING A PROBLEM
• LEARN THINKING PROCESSES THROUGH TEACHER MODELING.
• OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR HOW OTHERS WORK THROUGH PROBLEMS
IN PAIRS OR SMALL GROUP WORK.
• SUCCESS!!!!
