This workshop is useful for secondary school biology teachers who wish to design differentiated tasks to engage students and enhance their learning. Participants will learn about the principles of Differentiated Instruction (DI), and how to use Carol Tomlinson’s model of DI to differentiate their learning tasks to deepen and integrate students’ learning, check for understanding, as well as to provide feedback to help students improve their learning. Through these tasks, students will be empowered to be self-directed learners, and be engaged in collaborative learning.

This project focusses on implementing the previously planned ensemble music with Boomwhackers as an intermediary intervention for students with ADHD in a mainstream school with a primary focus on improving their social skills and a secondary aim of encouraging the fostering of self-discipline in the students.  Tacitly, this is not music therapy although it draws the activities and routines heavily from the field.
