"Rigor is creating an environment in which each student is expected to learn at high levels. And each is supported so he or she can learn at high levels, and each student demonstrates learning at high levels."

Dr Barbara Blackburn

Following from the recent webinars “Rigor Define & Embrace” & “Rigorous Assessments” comes the third in the highly acclaimed series with “Rigor & Differentiation in the Classroom” presented March 2019. Three stand-alone webinars will be presented over three weeks personally presented by Dr Blackburn. Learn how to effectively understand and implement rigor & differentiation in a practical, concise and interactive format.

Are you wondering about rigor? For many educators, it is a negative term that means "harder" or "Double the work". Barbara's internationally recognised, practical, teacher-friendly concept of instructional rigor includes high expectations, scaffolding for instruction and demonstration of learning.

Learn how to differentiate instruction while maintaining a rigorous learning environment. In this practical book, rigor expert Barbara R. Blackburn shows that the differentiated classroom doesn’t mean extra work for top students and easy work for others; instead, you can have high expectations for all students and provide scaffolding so that everyone can reach success. She also addresses many of the greatest concerns teachers have about implementing differentiated instruction, including:

  • How to manage your time so that you can create lessons, find resources, and grade assignments for students working at different levels.
  • How to balance differentiated instruction and teaching standards;
  • How to ensure rigor at all tiers of instruction;
  • How to collaborate with teachers and other faculty members;
  • How to differentiate homework and other out-of-class assignments;
  • How to explain differentiated instruction to parents and families
  • And more
