by Dr Heng Tang Tang
This workshop aims to clarify common myths about differentiated instruction (DI) by engaging with its key principles. By drawing on findings from Dr Heng's research on teachers' implementation of DI in Singapore, we will explore how DI can be enacted in the Singapore context. Participants will also be introduced to some common challenges of applying DI to the Singapore context and discuss ways to overcome them. Participants should have a basic knowledge of DI, as this is not an entry-level workshop.

26 March 2021 (Friday), 3-5pm

By Asst Prof Choy Ban Heng

How can teachers attend to mathematical details embedded in
students' work? How can we analyse students' thinking to make
instructional decisions that enhance students' learning? In this
interactive online workshop on Teacher Noticing, we will focus on
developing an awareness of how teachers can build teaching expertise by
learning to attend to and interpret instructional details to making
instructional decisions.
At the end of the workshop, participants should:
1. Know the different components of teacher noticing;
2. Be aware of what and how to notice students' thinking from their work; and
3. Use what they have noticed to improve their teaching
