[|An Overview of Kathie Nunley's Layered Curriculum]

From Kathie Nunley--
 * Instead of assigning class and homework, offer an assortment of learning activity choices.
 * Offer a wide variety of assignments, addressing as many styles and interests as possible. Activities may vary in terms of length of time required and point value.
 * Allow the student to choose which assignments they want to do to meet the point requirements for that unit.
 * Try to include enough assignment choices so that even the non-readers or low reading ability students can have success.
 * Assignment choices may include lecture, video, computer programs, book work, posters, modeling clay, poetry, construction of a board game, flash cards, mobiles, book reports, video performance.
 * Allow the students freedom to come up with their own creative assignments. Variety is key to leading rather than managing your students.
