Rigor is creating an environment in which each student is expected to learn at high levels,
each student is supported so he or she can learn at high levels,
and each student demonstrates learning at high levels (Blackburn, 2008).

Rigor for Students with Special Needs

My newest book, Rigor for Students with Special Needs is out!  The early reviews note  how appropriate it is for classroom teachers who have students with learning disabilities in their classes.  For an excerpt or to order a copy, click here.  


This practical, easy-to-read guide explains how to raise the rigor for students with special needs so they can achieve higher levels of learning.

Learn how to
  • set clear goals and expectations
  • establish a climate of success
  • scaffold and model lessons
  • use graphic organizers and "think-alouds"
  • apply modifications and accommodations
  • use rigorous questioning strategies
  • differentiate instruction
  • increase family involvement
