Brain-based strategies for tiering instruction so all students can learn.

Armstrong demonstrates how to design tiered questions that engage students at their level and involve high-level thinking skills; she also shows how to incorporate choice and collaboration to motivate students. Armstrong shares a wealth of strategies, planning sheets, graphic organizers, and more to make tiered instruction a success.
