What to tier
Tiering content
Students learn about different material. (The process and product may or may not be the same.)
Example:
Example:
- Content: Different pastimes in Spanish-speaking countries - some read about soccer, some read about bull fighting, etc. This content could be tiered by challenge level/readiness, complexity, interest, etc.
- Process: Students read articles and watch videos.
- Product: Students make a Venn diagram comparing pastimes in Spanish-speaking culture with their own favorite pastimes.
Tiering Process
Students use a different process to achieve the same outcome.
Example:
Example:
- Content: How to make gazpacho
- Process: Some students watch a cooking show, some students read a recipe, and some students read an infographic. This process could be tiered by challenge level/readiness, complexity, interest, etc.
- Product: Students teach someone else to make gazpacho.
Tiering product
Students create a different product. (The content and process may or may not be the same.)
- Content: Healthy eating habits
- Process: Read and discuss healthy food plate
- Product (could be tiered by challenge level/readiness, complexity, interest, etc.)
- A = Make a chart/list of healthy foods and unhealthy foods (Novice Low/Mid)
- B = Describing a healthy and unhealthy meal (Novice Mid/High)
- C = Create a ranked list of foods ranging from least to most healthy and explain why how item is ranked and why (Novice High/Intermediate Low)
