Rigor+and+Relevance

=**Rigor and Relevance Framework**=
 * //The Rigor/Relevance Framework is a straightforward structure that serves as a bridge between high expectations and real-world experiences. It offers a common language with which to express the notion of a more rigorous and relevant curriculum.//**



The first continuum, known as the Knowledge Taxonomy, is based on the six levels of Bloom's Taxonomy, which describes the increasingly complex ways in which we think. The second continuum, known as the Application Model, is one of action. Its five levels describe putting knowledge to use.

The Rigor and Relevance Framework is versatile; it can be used in the development of instruction and assessment. Likewise, teachers can use it to measure their progress in adding rigor and relevance to instruction and to select appropriate instructional strategies to meet learner needs and higher achievement goals.
