  1. Rigor: Defined “Rigor is the goal of helping students develop the capacity to understand content that is complex, ambiguous, provocative, and personally or emotionallychallenging.” Adapted from Teaching What Matters Most: Standards and Strategies for Raising Student Achievement by Strong, Silver and Perini, ASCD, 2001.

  2. Complex Content is composed of overlapping and perhaps paradoxical ideas. Adapted from Teaching What Matters Most: Standards and Strategies for Raising Student Achievement by Strong, Silver and Perini, ASCD, 2001.

  3. Ambiguous Content is found in poetry, statistics, and primary documents which are packed with multiple levels of meaning. Adapted from Teaching What Matters Most: Standards and Strategies for Raising Student Achievement by Strong, Silver and Perini, ASCD, 2001.

  4. Provocative Content is conceptually challenging, and deals with dilemmas. Students conduct inquiry and work on solving real world problems. Adapted from Teaching What Matters Most: Standards and Strategies for Raising Student Achievement by Strong, Silver and Perini, ASCD, 2001.
