COOPERATIVE LEARNING FOR JUNIORS

Engagement! Learning! Social Skills!

4 Day workshop (can be taken day by day in order, or as an academy)

The early years are a critical time in a student’s education.

Students come to class with vastly different abilities and experiences, and we want them all to experience early success academically and socially. Join us and learn the best Kagan Structures to engage all your little ones.

Learn how to get your budding students to follow directions, how to work in teams, how to share and take turns, how to communicate effectively, how to think critically, and of course, how to master the content and skills to succeed in school.

Kagan will give you the structures and adaptations necessary to make cooperative learning a huge hit with your youngsters, and create a cooperative and caring classroom.

Start your junior students on the path to school success by nurturing important social and academic skills. Come away with ideas and activities you’ll be excited to implement the first day and every day of school!

Suitable for teachers of Years NE-Year 3.
