1.Readiness is based on the ability levels of the students.

2.Interest is based on their interest in a topic

3.Learning profile may be determined through Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences.

7.7. Based on the above decisions, determine how many tiers you will need to provide support and challenge as you develop the lesson?
