FIAE Chapter 5

This chapter was about tiering different assignments, which helps learners who might not be hitting the standard and are instead below or above it.  Tiering is a method of differentiation that either assists students by guiding them a little more or challenges their thinking by asking more thought-provoking questions.   Although I had been exposed to tiering before, I hadn’t really seen how easy it is to tier assignments or the benefit of it for more than just students below the standard.  After realizing how advantageous tiering can be, it will definitely be something that I incorporate into my classroom, and there are fun ways like the RAFT, which will make it easier for me to do so.
