Ideas for Differentiating:Rather than Provide 1 Assessment, Provide 3
To Differentiate Questioning:
1) Identify your KUD2) Provide students 3 questions/tasks in the
midst of a lecture, as part of an activity, or on an entrance/exit slip that arrive at the same KUD
3) Students should answer one of the three questions or complete one of the three tasks
* Questions can be differentiated by interest, learning profile, or readiness
SAMPLE ASSESSMENT TASK:Select one of the following
tasks to complete in your class notes:
A) Draw a flow chart that depicts the water cycle.
B) Write a narrative explaining the steps of the water cycle from the perspective of a water droplet.
C) Draw a picture that clearly articulates the water cycle. Label the picture appropriately.
Ideas for Differentiating:Use Tic-Tac-Toe to Differentiate by Interest
To Create Tic-Tac-Toe:
1) Write 9 commands, questions, or tasks on the Tic-Tac-Toe board.
2) Have students choose three options to complete creating a row vertically, horizontally, or diagonally

Ideas for Differentiating:Use RAFTto Differentiate by Learning Style
To Create a RAFT:
1) Develop a KUD◦ Please note: When assigning a
RAFT, you may have to rely upon student presentations or sharing to achieve all aspects of the KUD.
2) Design a writing assignment with a minimum of 4 columns:
◦ Roles◦ Audiences◦ Formats◦ Topics
(Strickland- Social Studies, 2012, p. 26)(Strickland- Social Studies, 2012, p. 15)
Ideas for Differentiating:Use RAFTto Differentiate by Learning Style
To Create a RAFT:3) Have each student select
one horizontal row to complete
4) Make time for students to share their work (so all aspects of the KUD are achieved)
* To differentiate by Learning Style, make sure there are several options that appeal to different learning styles in the FORMAT column
(Strickland- Social Studies, 2012, p. 26)(Strickland- Social Studies, 2012, p. 15)
SAMPLE RAFT: SOCIAL STUDIES
(Strickland- Social Studies, 2012, p. 16)
Ideas for Differentiating:Use Tieringto Differentiate by Readiness
“Tiering is a processof adjusting thedegree of difficultyof a question, task,or product tomatch a student’scurrentreadiness level.”
Strickland, A Strategy for Readiness Differentiation
Ideas for Differentiating:Use Tieringto Differentiate by Readiness
To Tier an Assignment:
1) Determine the KUD statement2) Identify the readiness ranges relative to the KUD
goals3) Create an activity that is engaging & rigorous4) Replicate the activity to address differences in
readiness◦ Use similar knowledge & skills◦ Yields the same understanding
5) Use assessment data to match the task to the student
