Chapter 5: Tiering Assessments

This chapter shows us many ways that teachers can adjust their assignments so all students can complete the task. The term tiering is used to describe the adjustments that need to be made for some students. A couple important things to remember is that not all tasks will need to be tiered and teachers should not pre-tier their students because there are not permanently defined groups. The area of this chapter that I will use in my class will be the learning menu. I think giving students the choice from assignments will give them a sense of ownership to what they are doing. Instead of forcing everyone to complete the same math problems, there is nothing wrong with having some students working from the book, some doing a worksheet, and some creating their own math problems. I will be using learning menus in my class.
