• Tier 1

• Tier 2

• Tier 3

• Tier 2 and 3

Answer explanation

Wait time tends to increase the number of students participating by up to 8 times. This means that students who want longer to think or time to build confidence have an opportunity to participate. This is useful for all/most students and is therefore a tier 1 strategy.
