Highest levels of academic rigor

Division Name: Student Achievement Increasing academic rigor is an educational imperative for today's students. According to Dr. Robert

Marzano, rigor is not just presenting harder problems or more complex text. Instead, increasing rigor requires an

instructional shift from a teacher-led focus on simply understanding facts and details to robust

student-led application of knowledge. This instructional shift should require students to develop and defend claims

with sound evidence, backing and qualifiers as part of utilizing the knowledge that they acquire.

The MSDLT will partner with the Marzano Center/LSI to implement the Marzano Essentials for Rigor Model. Because of the size of the

district and the instructional transformation required, the process of professional development will take 4 years to fully implement.

Division Name: Student Achievement

Rationale: Spanish-speaking families are moving into our district at an ever-increasing rate. In fact, the Hispanic

student population is growing at a faster rate than any other group of students over the last 5 years. In addition,

there is a waiting list of both English-speaking and Spanish-speaking families to participate in the district's

Immersion program at Forest Glen. These two data points both point to a need to expand the district's bilingual

education including but not limited to Dual Immersion.
