Definitions of Tiered Activity
advanced outcomes, trainer should give the participants tiered activities by outcomes. When in achieving the same outcome participants are able to work in
some kinds of ways, trainer should support the participants with tier activities by process. When the activity allows the participants to show what they have
learned, trainer should tier the activities by product. Furthermore, there are also some options in distributing tiered activity.
Everyone may work on Tier 1. In this case, trainer should provide some activities according to certain topic to discuss. All the participants work on the first level of
the tiered activities. They are expected to be curious with what the next tiered activities have. Then, they automatically want to have more activities. However,
if they don’t, trainer should guide them to have the other activities. Another option is participants choose a Tier they want. In this option, the participants can
have whichever tiered activities they want to work on. This makes participants enjoy doing the activities although when the activities are actually not suitable for
them. Trainer may also put the participants into cooperative groups. Participants
are expected to have further discussion related to the topic they learn in group. This can be beneficial, but when there is a dominant participant in a group, this
option may not work well. This option has an error when other participants depend on the dominant one. Besides, the option of all Tiers for all participants
can be also implemented to get information about participant s’ achievement.
Participant can achieve different points of tiered activities. The more participants do the activities correctly is the more points they have. Trainer observes and
offers assistance while giving encouragement to participants during their work. The last is that trainer decides which participants get which Tier. To apply this
option, trainer should totally understand the participant s’ achievement of their
learning process since miss distributing leads to the failure.
