Developed for teachers, teams, instructional coaches, and school leaders, RIGOR Unveiled provides a wealth of support and knowledge for classroom observation and reflection, including:

- Rubrics for evaluation including ratings, evidence, and “My Next Steps"

- 100+ video spotlights defining key concepts

- 25 classroom videos showing each of the indicators in action

- 25 videos of coaches discussing what they observed in each of the classroom videos

- Sturdy flipbook format for individual and team use and easy writing on the go

- Spot It Happening feature to calibrate observations as they happen
