Why Change?
“The primary aim of education is not to enable students to do well in school, but to help them do well in the lives they lead outside of the school.”
![Page 5: Leadership for Rigor, Relevance, and Relationships](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56813065550346895d963e1a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Mission
• Prepare students for the world they will inhabit outside the schoolhouse walls.
• Engage them in learning that will develop skills that are transferable to the 21st Century world.
![Page 6: Leadership for Rigor, Relevance, and Relationships](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56813065550346895d963e1a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Teaching is only as good as the learning
that takes place.
What do we change?

Rigorous instruction prepares students to think critically
so they can solve problems in unpredictable, real world
situations.
Thinking outside the car.

Reflective Questionsto Provoke Crucial Conversations
• What do you intend students to learn?
• What is the level(s) of Rigor and Relevance?
• How do you know students understood the lesson?
• What data are you using to determine you are meeting the standards?
• What can I do as instructional leader to support your efforts?
![Page 29: Leadership for Rigor, Relevance, and Relationships](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56813065550346895d963e1a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Reflective Questions
• What strategies do you use to address individual learning styles? • What was the most successful part of the learning experience and why? • If you teach this lesson again, how would you change it? • What evidence can you share regarding achievement of standards?
• How do you know learning has occurred?

Student Reflection
“First of all, I never thought we could get it all together to actually produce a newspaper with all the parts that you wanted. But we did it, and I actually learned a lot. Mostly I learned that I had to pull my load so that we didn’t look like a bunch of slackers compared to the other groups. And I think I know what it might feel like to be a publisher in charge of getting a newspaper to press on time. Definitely not for me!”

“I once had a teacher who said, ‘If you truly understand a concept, you can find at least 5 different ways to retell the information.’ The children’s book helped me think past the memorization of dry textbook material.”
