Building Students’
Learning Power
This part of the Ready for Rigor® framework is where everything you’ve built—alliances, trust, and a strong warm demander stance—comes together. Now it’s time to leverage being “relationship-ready” to become “instruction-ready.”
Culturally responsive teaching isn’t just about affirming diverse students. It’s about how we design and deliver instruction that grows students’ ability to process, retain, and apply information in cognitively demanding ways.
Coaching students to improve their information processing capacity is the key to accelerating their learning.
It’s about more than engagement. Use the Ignite-Chunk-Chew-Review® process to get students to
become metacognitive and meta-strategic thinkers.
