This works really well when used correctly. Tailored instruction is carried out by varying the level of assignments to fit each group's needs. The objective is that tiered lessons are appropriately challenging for all students. Students with higher skill levels are not bored, while those with lower skill levels are not overwhelmed. ]]> 2023-04-02 22:53:55 UTC https://padlet.com/tonyawhite39/2100p6gc2focy2gk/wish/2541399231 How can teachers tier instruction? tonyawhite39 https://padlet.com/tonyawhite39/2100p6gc2focy2gk/wish/2541407115 Teachers can tier instruction based on 4 elements: content, process, product, and affect/learning environment. This modification is guided by the teacher's understanding of student needs which is the student's readiness, interests, and learning profile. ]]> 2023-04-02 23:07:09 UTC https://padlet.com/tonyawhite39/2100p6gc2focy2gk/wish/2541407115 tonyawhite39 https://padlet.com/tonyawhite39/2100p6gc2focy2gk/wish/2541410395 1. Content means the knowledge, understanding, and skills, that the student need to learn. It is important to remember that these learning goals should nearly always remain the same for all students in the differentiated classroom.
2. Process is how students come to understand and make sense of the content. They are able to see how it makes sense and realize how it is useful. 
3. Product is the way students demonstrate what they come to know, understand, and are belt to do after an extended period of learning. 
4. Affect/learning environment is the effect of the student's emotions and feelings on their learning/]]> 2023-04-02 23:14:25 UTC https://padlet.com/tonyawhite39/2100p6gc2focy2gk/wish/2541410395 Critique of the technique tonyawhite39 https://padlet.com/tonyawhite39/2100p6gc2focy2gk/wish/2541416808 There are many factors go into making tiered instruction successful. The first would be having a background knowledge of each student's skill level. Each student may be on a different skill level so background knowledge is needed so that goals are addressed appropriately. Using quality resources is important. Assess the resources you are using to determine if it is appropriate for the grade level of the students and also if the complexity of the resource will help or further frustrate the students. ]]> 2023-04-02 23:26:21 UTC https://padlet.com/tonyawhite39/2100p6gc2focy2gk/wish/2541416808 tonyawhite39 https://padlet.com/tonyawhite39/2100p6gc2focy2gk/wish/2541419936 Tiered instruction can be a valuable technique to use in the classroom but starting the process can be time consuming. Overall, if done properly, it should align with the student's needs. ]]> 2023-04-02 23:31:38 UTC https://padlet.com/tonyawhite39/2100p6gc2focy2gk/wish/2541419936
