Academic Rigor - Redefined!

Here is a link to an article by Tony Wagner (author of the Global Achievement Gap: Why Even Our Best Schools Don't Teach the New Survival Skills Our Children Need—and What We Can Do About It).  If you are wondering if you would like the book, read this article and see what you think.  The book is very similar to this, but with a lot more information and examples.  The article is called Rigor Redefined.  It also lists and explains the 7 Survival Skills.
