Practice Tiered Assignments

One Way to Structure Tiered Assignments: Challenge Level Tiering can be based on challenge level where student groups will tackle different assignments. Teachers can use Bloom’s Taxonomy as a guide to help them develop tasks of structure or questions at various levels. For example: Group 1: Students who need content reinforcement or practice will complete one activity that helps build understanding. Group 2: Students who have a firm understanding will complete another activity that extends what they already know.
