Note seven: intellectual rigour

​Teachers often face the challenge of effectively engaging and catering for students of all abilities.

We know that in any given year level, there can be a five to six year difference between the most advanced and the least advanced 10 per cent of students. This requires teachers to build the intellectual rigour of all students using a range of strategies.
