This reduces redundancy and allows for advanced programming // // **Interest Centers**- a center within the classroom that links curriculum topics to areas of student talent and interest in depth and breadth // // **Tiered Assignments**- assignments designed for varying ability levels. More complex assignments better meet the needs of high-ability learners // // **Tiered Products**- products specially designed to demonstrate understanding of a topic in a more in-depth manner // // **Graduated Rubrics**- the standard and level of student proficiency and accomplishments designed for students and teachers to measure learning outcomes. Graduated rubrics offer clear expectations for quality and levels of excellence to encourage among high-ability learners. // // **Independent Study**- topics selected by students for in-depth study including a statement of student objective, research, and planned presentation. Students design products to demonstrate their understanding of a topic. Independent study encourages student autonomy in planning and problem solving. // // **Alternative Assessments**- students are offered opportunities to demonstrate their understanding of material learned in "real-world" ways. //
 * // **Content-** what the teacher wants the student to learn and the materials or resources through which that is accomplished //
 * // **Process**- activities designed to ensure that students use key skills to make sense out of essential ideas and information //
 * // **Products**- vehicles through which students demonstrate and extend what they have learned //
 * // **Readiness**- a student's entry point relative to a particular understanding or skill //
 * // **Learning Profile**- how an individual student learns //
 * // In differentiated classrooms, students demonstrating a need for instruction beyond that of the general education curriculum should be offered a range of instructional and management opportunities such as: //**
