Delicious bookmarks on grouping: I found some good sites and bookmarked them here.

Recommended reading: Making Differentiation a Habit: How to ensure success in academically diverse classrooms by Diane Heacox. There might even be an Academy 39 class offered on this text next session, FYI.

Powerpoint presentation on grouping strategies: Oct. 12 break-out session

Handouts:

Tiering Activity (Tier 1) - Knowledge/Comprehension

Tiering Activity (Tier 2) - Comprehension/Analysis/Evaluation

Tiering Activity (Tier 3) - Analysis/Evaluation (more global)

Tiering Activity Instructions

Btw: I used some fancy downloaded fonts for both my handouts and presentation. If you don't have them, the sheets and PowerPoint will default to something far less fancy. If this matters to you or if you have font envy, go to Dafont.com and download the following fonts:

1. Jayne Print (Tier 1 Activity)

2. High Fiber (Tier 2 Activity)

3. Walkway Black (Tier 3 Activity)

4. Euphorigenic (Ppt presentation titles)

If you do so, you will be able to view my work in its intended splendor.
