Student’s Comments

“I was fortunate to stumble across Kagan Cooperative Learning whilst on placement in my second year. I immediately saw how these methods could help me to be a more successful class teacher. Now as a fourth Year Student Teacher, having completed the 5 day basic CL training and having just completed my last placement in the classroom, I feel that the Structures have allowed me to engage far more students (high and low). They have helped me to manage ongoing assessment for learning, to differentiate successfully, to incorporate multiple intelligences and learning styles and all without extra preparation time over and above what other students are spending in more traditional settings. I know that I will be using this approach my entire teaching career! This is the best stuff around!!”
