Workshop 1 : For those
colleagues who are new to Kagan Cooperative Learning Structures. This workshop introduces
the basic (P.I.E.S.) principles of CL as well as 10 excellent Kagan Structures with
rationale and help planning them into your own classroom practice.
Workshop 2 : Create
discipline solutions where you win and your students win. Gain a new perspective
on discipline problems and come away with tools that really work. Convert every
disruption into a learning opportunity. Go beyond ending disruptions- teach responsible
behaviours and life skills. In this Win-Win Discipline overview, you will learn
all the basics: To identify the four types of disruptive behaviour; to recognise
the seven positions from which they spring; and what to do in the moment of disruption.
Learn to follow-up and to prevent future disruptions. Experience the power of the
most comprehensive approach to discipline ever created.
Do you want to engage all
students? Do you want to raise
test scores? Do you want to learn simple teacher-friendly strategies that you can
implement tomorrow? This 2 Day

for you! You’ll experience cutting edge teaching structures to create classroom
success now and forever! In addition,
you’ll learn management tips, how to form effective teams, strategies for creating
a cooperative class through teambuilding and classbuilding, and why cooperative
learning produces gains and why group work often fails. Finally, a workshop that
has practical, hands-on ideas grounded in sound research and theory.

Participants Reviews from our latest ‘Introduction’ workshops:
Workshops rated from 1 to 5 (1-Weak...5-Strong)
“Inspirational!! Very informative, really interesting stuff with a great mix of
theory, practice and ideas– it explained how to use the structures but more importantly—WHY
I should use them. Reflecting on my classroom practice it has enabled me to think
of ways to enhance children’s learning experiences– it’s like someone switching
the colour on the TV!”
Andy Brady, Nether Alderley Primary School
“Fantastic– really has helped me to focus on what I would like to achieve and see
my students achieving in my lessons. LOVED working in my ‘team’!!”
Lucy Hull, Secondary Teacher
“Always active, always interesting—a must for all teachers. Kagan is the way forward!
The instructor was a REAL PROFESSIONAL! Would love to come back and do Day 3 & 4”
R. Pemberton, Secondary School
“This has been a brilliant course with structures I can begin to use straight away.”
Kathy Davies, Hurdsfield Primary School
“I learnt alot over the two and half days! I really feel that by introducing these
structures into my class, the kids will not only have alot more fun but will learn
far more in an engaging and interactive way.”
Sarah Collins, St. John’s the Evangelist CE Primary School
“I can’t wait to start implementing the structures particularly RallyCoach!”
Jenny Bashford, Secondary Science Teacher
“The best course I have been on! Want to do loads tomorrow but need to focus and
start small.”
Alyson Coates, Secondary Maths Teacher
“The content was significant but rarely did I feel overwhelmed. Material was revisited
and opportunities were plenty to ask questions. Elaine was enthusiastic and energetic.
There was a great group dynamic despite only being together for two days. Lovely
venue!!”
Peter Pugh, Secondary History Teacher
“Excellent. Lots covered in a variety of ways. I was ‘switched on’ at all times.
Great new ideas. It has made me realise there are ways around the lower ability
children instead of worrying when I can’t work 1-1 with them all the time. I thoroughly
enjoyed this course after being unsure of what Cooperative Learning is. I now know
and can definitely see the BENEFITS! Thank You!”
Anna Marshall, Primary Teacher Key Stage 1
