FIAE - Chapter 5 - Tiering Assessments

This chapter was intense. All of the assessments seemed like they would work. I specifically liked the cubing one. I think it would be a great way to assess what students have learned, and also let them get creative. In my limited experience with tiering (at Mt. Blue), my mentor teacher stressed the fact that even though his classes were tracked differently, every student did the exact same work. He didn’t tweak any of his worksheets for his CPI track, but he did explain more of the information instead of asking the class what they thought the answer would likely be. I can see how both sides are effective; I just don’t know which side I agree with more and why.
