Description
Tiered lessons are a way that educators can differentiate in their classrooms in order to meet the needs of each student. Many educators understand the theoretical concepts of tiered lessons but struggle with actually implementing them. This course from the Ohio Gifted Organization will help teachers dive deep into tiered lessons.
In this 3-module course, Ms. Chaffins will lay the groundwork for building tiered lessons using strategies from top educators. To help illustrate these concepts, she has invited Brian Krawetzke and Mark Suter to share the lesson strategies they’ve used in their own classrooms.
Educators will learn about:
- Dr. Tomlinson’s differentiation methods
- Norman Webb’s Depth of Knowledge
- Karin Hess’s Extended Learning Strategies
- Practical examples of how to apply these strategies in the classroom
2016 Teacher Competencies: a, b, c
NAGC Teacher Preparation Standards: 2.2, 3.1, 3.3, 3.4, 5.1, 5.2

This was a good presentation on how teachers use classroom community to build instruction.

I think every school board member and administrator needs to hear this talk. I also feel that what he is encouraging in his classroom needs to be available to all educators. We need freedom to teach the way we need to teach and to address the needs that the students really have. Curriculum and textbook dependent learning is useless. Autonomy on our end helps the students become great learners and leaders on theirs.

I think this course had interesting and diverse ideas. It reminds me that their is a world of knowledge, strategies and creative ways to teach. It is a reminder to veer away from the rut of everyday unproductive routine and be creative and have fun with our students in the classroom.
