This session explores tiered assignments in Physical Education, specifically focusing on dribbling skills in basketball. Tier 1 challenges students to dribble from point A to B using one hand and to create new floor patterns. Tier 2 ups the ante with swift dribbling in and out of cones, while Tier 3 introduces defensive pressure to increase difficulty. The concept of tiering is applicable to various classroom components, including activities, discussions, and assessments. We’ll consider critical factors for effective tiering and how to ensure respect for diverse student readiness.

Differentiated Instruction Session #5: Tiered Assignments Part I
Tiering: An Example in PE Skill: Dribbling in basketball Tier 1: Dribble from point A to B with one hand, switch hands and repeat, develop a new floor pattern (not a straight line) using either hand.
Tier 2: Dribble in and out of cones as quickly as possible using one hand, change hands and repeat, increase speed. Tier 3: Dribble with one hand while another student plays defense, increase speed, trade roles
What can be tiered? • Classroom activities • Resources, texts • Discussion questions • Homework assignments • Items on tests and quizzes • Learning contracts • Center activities • Independent and small group projects • ANYTHING!!
To Tier or Not to Tier… • What is my objective? • Is it likely that my students have varied readiness levels with regard to this objective? • Are there multiple ways to approach this objective?
As you think about your curriculum, what are some “critical points” where tiering may be necessary?
Questions to consider as you tier… • Am I really sticking to my original objective OR have I gotten off track? (BE CRITICAL!) • Is each of the tiers respectful of my students? • How should students be grouped? • What management considerations do I need to think about? • How can students who have completed different tasks share their work and learning?
