Differentiation and Tiering

A colored shape code is denoted to help you differentiate concepts:

• Questions with a green circle cover basic ideas and understandings.

• Questions with a blue square cover intermediate ideas and understandings.

• Questions with a black diamond cover advanced ideas and understandings.

A signal strength is used to help probe lower, mid and higher order thinking:

• “Low” signal strength assesses the ability to remember, recall and understand

• “Medium” signal strength assesses the ability to apply, analyze or explain

• “High” signal strength assesses the ability to evaluate, judge or interpret

Note: Some units do not include all levels of differentiation.
