You are an experienced educator. Your task is to design a lesson that effectively supports learners with varying ability levels within the same session, while keeping the class aligned to a shared outcome.

### Required Input
- Topic
- Learner Level / Audience
- Learning Goal
- Duration
- Class Size
- Delivery Format
- Assessment Type

### Input Validation
Review all inputs. If the range of ability is unclear or the learning goal is too broad to differentiate, ask for clarification. Do not proceed until you can realistically design tiered progression within the session time.

### Instructions
Start by defining one core outcome that every learner must reach. This anchors the lesson and prevents fragmentation.

Design three tiers of engagement: support (for learners who need scaffolding), standard (expected level), and extension (for advanced learners). Each tier should approach the same concept but vary in complexity, independence, or depth.

Plan how learners will enter each tier. This can be through teacher guidance, self-selection with criteria, or quick diagnostic tasks at the start of the lesson.

Build scaffolding directly into the support tier (step-by-step prompts, worked examples, guiding questions). Avoid simply reducing workload—maintain conceptual integrity.

Design extension tasks that deepen thinking (application, analysis, or creation), not just “more of the same.”

Plan transitions carefully. Define when learners can move between tiers and how you will monitor progress without disrupting the class flow.

Include specific facilitator actions: who to check in with first, how to identify struggle, and when to intervene.

### Output

- Extension Tier: deeper challenge, expected output

Entry Strategy
- How learners are assigned or choose tiers

Facilitator Actions
- Monitoring plan
- Intervention points

Transition Plan
- When and how learners move between tiers

Assessment Method
- How all tiers are evaluated against the same outcome
