Kagan Coaching
WHAT IS Kagan Coaching?
Do you want to raise student achievement?
Do you want to reach every student?
The evidence is clear: GOOD TEACHERS MAKE THE DIFFERENCE. Student achievement
depends on teacher quality. T2T(UK) will
help you master Kagan Cooperaive Learning Structures, structures that transform
the way teachers teach and students learn.
Although teachers are drawn to Kagan Structures because of their ease to use and
their step-by-step guides there is still a need to ensure that structures are being
used correctly.
The challenges of implementing a new strategy can be substantial; often your staff
will need assistance in the context of their own classroom with their own students
Kagan Coaching offers the chance for teachers to learn in context and have ‘in-the-moment’
support.
T2T(UK) are able to unobtrusively give
teachers feedback while they are teaching because students using Kagan Cooperative
Structures are so engaged working in teams this allows time for the coach to work
with the class teacher to acknowledge the positives and provide a correction. No
one is ever put on the spot, the corrections needed are made and everyone wins!
Just as a football or netball coach would find it a mistake to wait until the game
is over to give his/her players feedback; after the lesson — is too little and too
late. Through Kagan Coaching, teachers see immediate benefits from correct implementation
of structures. This is exciting, inspiring and rewarding and has an immediate impact
on your student’s success.
If you are a staff trainer, or leader responsible for staff development, Kagan Coaching
presents opportunities for the ‘growth’ of teachers at every level and can be an
essential component to your school success.
kagan Coaching allows teachers to increase retention from workshops; it helps to
