A few months ago, I had the opportunity to attend the
#ASCD15 conference where I was introduced to Kagan Structures. Upon returning home, I attended a full day training on cooperative learning and since that time, I have planned an upcoming training of 2 days of professional development with
Kagan. After attending two different trainings, it's official...I am hooked! I absolutely love the interactivity and engagement the structures provide and the organized method of grouping students. I tried
some of the ideas at our recent 6th grade day and the structures helped keep everyone focused and on task. Plus, the kids really seemed to enjoy them. (Bonus!!!) Part of the organization with Kagan Structures occurs as students sit in groups of 4's. To help facilitate activities and discussions, it is helpful to have table cards. I made a set in our school colors. Download the
red and blue version or choose the
editable file to customize your own:)
