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

• reimagine the student and teacher relationship as a partnership
• take responsibility to reduce students’ social-emotional stress from stereotype threat and microagressions
• balance giving students both care and push
• help students cultivate a positive mindset and sense of self-efficacy
• support each student to take greater ownership for his learning
• give students language to talk about their learning moves
