This standard is based on Zaretta Hammond’s Ready for Rigor Framework:

• create an environment that is intellectually and socially safe for learning
• make space for student voice and agency
• build classroom culture and learning around communal (sociocultural) talk and task structures
• use classroom rituals and routines to support a culture of learning
• use principles of restorative justice to manage conflicts and redirect negative behavior
