I agree...as teachers we are recognizing that we need to raise the rigor and expectations of students. This goes along with helping students become self-regulated learners, being able to take control of their own learning and becoming the investigator. We also need to find the balance between working to bring up the bottom, while also taking the top and making them even better. This is a concern because so often we put the focus on the lowest end, trying to bring them up. We need to take it a step further and make sure students at the top are being challenged at a high level to enhance their learning as well. It's a lot to master.
