Tiered assignments are a method used to “ratchet” assignments up or down, depending on student readiness. Using the “Goldilocks” process, participants will write a tiered lesson that is "just right" for meeting student readiness. The Understanding by Design (UbD) model will be utilized in this process. When used appropriately, they provide instruction that is not too hard, not too easy, but “just right” for struggling, middle level and advanced students at the same time in the same classroom. Bring along a favorite lesson/s to learn the process of tiering instruction. We will use “filters” designed to help you adjust the levels of complexity of assignments so that all students experience a manageable and gratifying challenge. Respectful tasks for all learners.
