What are the steps for tiered instruction?

There are 5 major organizational points to tiering instruction:

1. Choose a concept that students should know or understand and whether to tier according to readiness, interest, or learning profile.
2. Assess student's profile, readiness, and interest.
3. Create an activity or project that is clearly focused on the concept.
4. Adjust the activity to provide different levels of difficulty.
5. Match students to appropriate tiered assignment.
