  4. What is tiering?

  5. What can be tiered? • Classroom activities • Resources, texts • Discussion questions • Homework assignments • Items on tests and quizzes • Learning contracts • Center activities • Independent and small group projects • ANYTHING!!

  6. To Tier or Not to Tier… • What is my objective? • Is it likely that my students have varied readiness levels with regard to this objective? • Are there multiple ways to approach this objective?

  7. As you think about your curriculum, what are some “critical points” where tiering may be necessary?

  8. Questions to consider as you tier… • Am I really sticking to my original objective OR have I gotten off track? (BE CRITICAL!) • Is each of the tiers respectful of my students? • How should students be grouped? • What management considerations do I need to think about? • How can students who have completed different tasks share their work and learning? (Closure)
