Kagan Strategies

A note went home a few weeks ago offering parent workshops for Term Three and asking parents to vote on what they would like to know more about. One of the topics on offer was Kagan Strategies and a few parents asked what this means.

Kagan is a type of cooperative learning. Through the Kagan system we set up cooperative learning groups in our classroom for 5 weeks at a time. Groups are structured carefully by the teacher and students participate in activities, games and tasks to learn how to work together successfully. Kagan has proven to increase student engagement in lessons and lift academic challenge.

Some of the Kagan strategies we are using in our class are round robins, rally robins and rally coach. You can ask your child what these strategies involve!

Here we are working together in Literacy!
