“Building a strong team requires a substantial amount of time and effort. Getting the right strengths on the team is a good starting point, but it is not enough. For a team to create sustained growth, the leader must continue to invest in each person’s strengths and in building better relationships among the group members. When leaders can do this, it allows the entire team to spend even more time thinking about the needs of the people they serve.”
Rath and Conchie , 2008

Leadership, Rigor & College Readiness
“The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short, but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.”
-Michelangelo
Spring Leadership RetreatMay 11, 12, 2010
49
Defining Rigor in CBSchoolsRe-focus on the mission “All Students College Ready”
• Examine the use of data to improve instruction.
• Define rigor in the context of college ready.
• Surface our instructional philosophy and it’s impact on the instructional program.
• Identify ways to increase rigor in the classroom.
Spring Leadership RetreatMay 11, 12, 2010
50
Defining rigor in College Board SchoolsDefining rigor in College Board Schools In your small group, use Conley’s work to
compose a definition of rigor. Be prepared to share.
In a College Board School whose mission is “all students college ready,” rigor means:
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Spring Leadership RetreatMay 11, 12, 2010
51
Defining rigor in College Board SchoolsUsing your definition of rigor, observe this clip
and rate the content of the clip on a scale of 1 to 10:
1 = there is no evidence of rigor
10=this is the exemplar of rigor in a classroom
Be prepared to justify your rating: think about what criteria you used, and consider what evidence led you to rate the clip as you did.
Spring Leadership RetreatMay 11, 12, 2010
53
Defining Rigor in College Board Schools
What does this distribution of ratings, and our different views about what good teaching looks like, mean for our schools?
Spring Leadership RetreatMay 11, 12, 2010
54
Leadership, Rigor & College Readiness• In a classroom where rigorous instruction is
going on, what activities or behaviors would you expect to see? What would the teacher be doing? What would students be doing?
• In a classroom where rigorous instruction is going on, what might be some of the characteristics of rigorous student work?
Spring Leadership RetreatMay 11, 12, 2010
56
Defining rigor in College Board Schools• What constitutes data?
• Brainstorm: think – note - share
Spring Leadership RetreatMay 11, 12, 2010
