Summary
This guide outlines the Team Rigor Audit Process, which is designed to collaboratively analyze assignments, tasks, and assessments for their rigor level and alignment with grade-level standards. The objective is to ensure that students have consistent access to grade-level rigor and learning by gathering diverse perspectives during discussions. The process includes preparation steps for team members to select individual and collective audit artifacts, ensuring they align with specific grade-level standards. The guide details the steps necessary to complete the rigor audit agenda, including reviewing priority standards, analyzing task complexity using Depth of Knowledge (DOK) and Bloom's Taxonomy, and facilitating discussions on strengths and areas needing improvement. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of accessibility and equity by considering Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles. Finally, the guide encourages reflection on evidence and student performance data to inform adjustments to enhance rigor and alignment with standards.
