Introduction to the Rigor and
Relevance Framework
Sherry Adrian
© International Center for
Leadership in Education
What is it?
• Tool developed by the International Center
for Leadership in Education
• Framework is based on
two
dimensions of higher knowledge and
student achievement.
– Knowledge continuum
– Application continuum
What is Rigor?
• Continual acquisition of new skills and
knowledge.
• It is derived understanding content that is
complex and challenging.
© International Center for Leadership in Education
What is Relevance?
• Skills and knowledge are applied to real-
world problems.
© International Center for Leadership in Education
Why Rigor and Relevancy?
• When students experience a problem in
context, they are more likely to see the
value of what they are learning.

Teaching involves
demonstrating skills and
presenting knowledge, but
learning doesn’t occur until
students engage and
understand.
-Bill Daggett
Research
• Research confirms that greater learning takes
place when students are challenged and
engaged in their learning.

Academic Standards
•Benchmarks of quality
and excellence in education.
Benchmarking started with
CareerTech Employers
• First used by cobblers to
measure people’s feet for shoes.
• They would place someone’s
foot on a “bench” and mark it
out to make the pattern for the
shoes.
We are a KEY Player when it
comes to academic standards
• CareerTech provides relevance for
academic standards—the AH-HA
moment!
• Cool jobs that use math
Why?
• Interdisciplinary approach increases
rigor and provides relevance.
• Integrating academic standards into
LAPs will establish benchmarks that
demonstrate our ongoing commitment
to quality and excellence in our
programs.
Getting Started
• Identify the Benchmarks
– Align existing standards, (Work Keys,
National Essential Skills, Common Core
Objectives ) to ACT Objectives
• Measure results
– High school students: Look at PLAN and
practice ACT scores.
– Adult students: Look at COMPASS
scores.
Teacher Committee
• Your involvement is needed to help
determine the most appropriate
standards to use to showcase how we
integrate academics into our LAPs.
Academic Standards
Benchmarks

excellence in

What’s Next
Sherry Adrian
This Summer
• Model Schools Conference
• Staff Development Session at Francis Tuttle
covering curriculum auditing, instructional
planning, and LAP conversion
• Begin curriculum development using new
LAP format
If you always do what you
always did, you will
always get what you
always got.
