INTELLECTUAL CHALLENGE
Enduring understandings: We teach the essential skills and concepts of each discipline in depth, and repeatedly in different contexts.
Questioning: We ask challenging questions to push students’ thinking and deepen their analytical skills.
Students as intellectuals: We “name” students as scholars and theorists, to help them see themselves as intellectuals.
Student voice: We ask students to express their opinions, backed by evidence, especially when they have unique or contrary points of view.
