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

Lisa – EASTERN LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner) –
The first on Tiered assignments was very informative. I like the way the speaker presented herself as a learner. The real world examples in the last session were great.

Meshell – FAYETTEVILLE-PERRY LOCAL (verified owner) –
The first segment was lengthy and repetitive. I enjoyed it but it could have been shortened. The 2nd two segments were well worth the watch.
Abigail – FAYETTEVILLE-PERRY LOCAL (verified owner) –
Ok I guess

This is great for technology teachers.
Teri – FAYETTEVILLE-PERRY LOCAL (verified owner) –
I really liked the information presented by the first two presenters and what Mark said was good too. However, I think that his concepts would work better for older students.
Alyssa – DELAWARE CITY (verified owner) –
I liked the stories that the speakers told. I did not hear many specific strategies.

This course helped with blooms and DOK.
Luis – LA FERIA ISD (verified owner) –
awesome
Chad – NEW BREMEN LOCAL (verified owner) –
I thought each presenter was knowledgeable and had very good information. I do think some, not being in Ohio State tested subjects, would make it much more challenging to implement.
Dora – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –
One of the Best I have taken this year.
Kristina – DRIPPING SPRINGS ISD (verified owner) –
I really liked the last presenter who treats his classroom as a business.
Raul – WESLACO ISD (verified owner) –

Melissa – SHARYLAND ISD (verified owner) –
This was great! Thinking about teaching outside of the box is always fun!
Sylvia – MIDWAY ISD – WOODWAY (verified owner) –
I feel like a lot of this was common sense. A lot of time was taken to talk about something that should have taken a few minutes.
Sharon – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –
Tiered lessons, table teacher, real world experience all ingredients for baking the best teaching.
Teresa – DAYTON CITY (verified owner) –
ttt
Nick – ORANGE CITY (verified owner) –
This course gave some good ideas about working with gifted students as well as all students. It really discussed a classroom design that has less structure in the traditional sense, but still gets the work done. The classes taught this way are electives, but I feel that the methods used could be implemented into a core course also.
Rachel – VAN WERT CITY (verified owner) –
This was a great course and loved the idea of the Teacher Table.
Ben – PARKWAY LOCAL (verified owner) –
This makes you think outside the box as to how you approach things in your classroom.
Nancy – WORTHINGTON CITY (verified owner) –
Gave good reminders of what tiered instruction is and some great ideas for implementation.
Jason – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –
Stayed tuned to modules 2 and 3. The teachers are high school teachers but have really good ideas about how to change up your teaching in the classroom.
Kathy – WORTHINGTON CITY (verified owner) –
The course provides many teaching ideas for middle school/high school. I did not think it was as applicable to primary elementary.
Lauren – WORTHINGTON CITY (verified owner) –
The specific examples were helpful.
Kristi – WORTHINGTON CITY (verified owner) –
It was ver;y beneficial and there was a lot of real world teaching ideas to take away.
Joshua – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –
Very informative and motivational.
Bethany – CARDINAL LOCAL (verified owner) –
Real world concepts – many geared towards secondary students which is less common in programs such as these.
Stacy – CARDINAL LOCAL (verified owner) –
The information was beneficial.
Matthew – COLUMBUS CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner) –
It was alright.
I do, however, get tired of this constant pressure placed on an individual teacher to constantly meet the needs of every single student in the room. This is an unfair and unrealistic expectation.
Andrea – PORT NECHES-GROVES ISD (verified owner) –
Fabulous ideas. I would want my biological children enrolled in classes like the ones featured.
Michael – MARION CITY (verified owner) –
It’s fine.
Randall – CARLISLE LOCAL (verified owner) –
Very interesting course. I found it very informative and encouraging.
