Abstract:
This chapter is about tiering. Tiering is defined as how teachers adject assignments and assessments according to students' readiness levels, interests, and learner profiles. Tiering is basically changing the complexity or challenge of tasks more and more everyday, so that students are learning and gaining as they go. Teachers are encouraged to let students work at their own pace and comfort levels so that the ctudent can complete the assignment the best way for them. The RAFT method allows students to choose what tast they want to do.
Reaction:
The examples given of how teachers tiered assignments were very much liked in our group. Educators are able to change the complexity or challenge or tasks everyday so that students are able to slowly or gradually reach their goal. Rich has always loved when teachers have allowed him to work at his own pace. Everyone really reacted well to the RAFTS method.
