Why do we need Kagan?
We are facing four interrelated crises in education…
-
Academic performance in New Zealand is failing compared to other leading nations. Hundreds of research studies demonstrate cooperative learning increases achievement at all levels and in all academic areas.
-
Academic outcomes are inequitable for different races and socioeconomic classes. Cooperative learning promotes academic gains, especially for priority and low achieving learners, lowering the achievement gap and increasing educational equity.
-
Students increasingly lack essential character virtues, and social and communication skills. Cooperative learning improves the development of personal and social skills, largely missing in society, yet desperately sought in the current workplace.
-
More and more teachers don’t have the necessary skills to deliver everything that is required of them in schools of today: managing extreme student behaviour; ensuring student well-being; inclusion; teaching basic literacy and maths skills; using Culturally Responsive pedagogy; and so on…
Kagan provides teachers with a pedagogical platform to effectively deliver the NZC, build a safe and positive classroom culture, develop social skills, promote positive behaviour management, and incorporates many aspects of CRP.
