Participants will take a deep dive into "Rigor," a core pillar of the RBL Implementation Continuum. The learning experience will focus on the following objectives:

• Explore research and dispel entrenched myths and mindsets regarding rigor.

• Increase understanding of the rigor strategies in the RBL IC.

• Strengthen ability to recognize and build a rigorous, scaffolded lesson for grade level standards.

• Consider refinements we can make to ensure all students have access to rigorous academic work that is grade-level, college-ready or student appropriate.
