Review :
"This excellent book is sure to provide guidance to PLC groups wanting to focus on improved use and understanding of assessment as it relates to raising the level of rigor. Blackburn offers practical ideas that all principals need to firm up their basic knowledge of assessment, and to lead successful discussions with their staff. The book also equips teachers with a good foundation of assessment, reminding them of what rigor is and what rigor isn’t." – Susan Gorman, Director of Student Improvement, Osawatomie USD 367, KS "Since the term ‘rigor’ is an integral part of the teaching and learning fabric, this book’s concrete explanation of what rigor in assessment actually means will benefit all teachers, school leaders and district leaders." – Nikki Mouton, Executive Director of Curriculum and Instruction, Gwinnett County Public Schools, GA "Barbara Blackburn consistently drives home the need for increased rigor in our schools. In her latest book on rigor and assessment, she gives practical advice and strategies to which teachers understand and relate. I am thankful for her work on rigor and the difference it is made in my district. Thank you, Barbara." --Dr. Karen Hickman, Deputy Superintendent of Academic Achievement, Pasadena ISD, TX
