What are the best practices for tiered assignments?

Tiered assignments are designed to meet diverse learning needs. Best practices include clear learning objectives, varied task complexity, and ongoing assessment.

Can you give me an example of a tiered assignment?

Sure! For a math lesson on fractions, you could create three tiers: Tier 1 for basic identification of fractions, Tier 2 for adding fractions, and Tier 3 for solving real-world problems involving fractions.

How do I assess students in tiered assignments?

Use formative assessments like quizzes or observations during the assignment. Also, consider self-assessments where students reflect on their learning.

What if some students struggle with their tier?

It's important to provide support. You can offer additional resources, one-on-one help, or allow students to move between tiers as needed.

Are there any tools that can help with creating tiered assignments?

Yes! Tools like Google Classroom, differentiated instruction software, and learning management systems can help you design and manage tiered assignments effectively.
