  A practical and systematic approach to deepening student engagement, promoting a growth mindset, and building a classroom culture that truly supports thinking and learning. 
   
  Every student deserves access to deep and rigorous learning. Still, some persistent myths about rigor can get in the way—such as the belief that it means more or harder work for everyone, rather than challenging and advancing students' thinking. So how can teachers get more clarity on rigor and foster more meaningful learning in their classrooms. 
   
  In Rigor by Design, Not Chance: Deeper Thinking Through Actionable Instruction and Assessment, veteran educator Karin Hess offers not only a clear vision of what makes learning deep and rigorous but also a systematic and equitable approach for engaging students of all ages in rich learning tasks. To that end, she outlines five essential teacher moves that foster thinking and learning: 
  Ask a series of probing questions of increasing complexity.Build schemas in each content area.Consider ways to strategically scaffold learning.Design complex tasks that emphasize transfer and evidence-based solutions.Engage students in metacognition and reflection throughout the learning process. 
   
  From there, Hess details how to create an "actionable" assessment cycle that will drive learning forward in any classroom. 
  This book offers a treasure trove of strategies, student "look-for" behaviors, and templates to guide teachers in their work as well as an array of rich performance-based assessments to engage and challenge students. School leaders and instructional coaches can also benefit from the variety of teacher-friendly supports to foster rigorous learning in their schools. Ultimately, Rigor by Design, Not Chance helps educators empower students to take greater ownership of their own learning. 
   
  This audiobook is skillfully read by Kim Handysides, and was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont. Audio engineering by Allie McSwain.

  Intellectual Anarchy - The Art...

  So how do we move the future from the distant horizon to the present day? We need Intellectual Anarchy. 
  The accelerating challenges facing our planet—such as climate change, food scarcity, sustainable energy, overpopulation, nuclear proliferation, income inequality, and rising healthcare costs—are solvable. The question is not if, but when. 
  All these challenges directly impact our lives and our unwritten future. They have enormous economic consequences for humans and society. They also provide incredible opportunities for investors and innovators. This is a book about how we can find disruptive solutions to hard problems, problems so difficult that they can seem impossible. Problems of that magnitude demand radical new ideas—an incremental approach won’t work. Their solutions seemingly come out of left field, defying conventional wisdom, and overturning existing industries, practices, and business models. 
  This book details the Intellectual Anarchy methodology followed at Oceanit for generating disruptive solutions to these problems and taking them from the idea stage all the way to market—Mind-to-Market, including financing innovations to overcome the scarcity of venture capital anywhere away from the conventional tech hubs. 
  Oceanit operates from Hawai‘i, the most remote location in the world. Yet today Oceanit works across the world with just about everybody—the US government, Fortune 100 companies, and more than sixty universities—partnering and collaborating as we research, invent, and produce technology in energy, aerospace, life sciences, information technology, sustainability, and resiliency. 
  If Oceanit’s Intellectual Anarchy model works in Hawai‘i, it can work anywhere.
