In a class, each student is different and has varied learning needs and preferences. Planning a lesson strategy that “fits all” or “teaching to the middle” leads to disturbance or disinterest for some learners during lessons. The workshop will explore ideas of Differentiated Instructions in the class by effectively using curriculum material to provide variation in learning for students but without the teacher having to plan a different lesson for individual students for the same topic.
