    —HILLARY REISIG, SECONDARY LANGUAGE ARTS TEACHER

  • “When teachers are effective in structuring group membership and tasks, and in training students in collaborative skills, the evidence shows positive gains in academic, social and attitudinal outcomes”

    -Quality Teaching for Diverse Learners in Schooling, BES., p.64

  • “As a Beginning Teacher, I have found the Kagan Cooperative Learning structures and strategies invaluable. Kagan was an integral part of my classroom set up and gave me the skills to manage behaviour positively. The children want to learn because they find class fun and exciting. The detailed and step by step training gave me the confidence to teach in all areas cooperatively. ”

    — LEONIE M., PCT, AUCKLAND

  • “…they need to be teaching this at teacher training as it makes everything so easy...”

    -B. Jones, Music Teacher, Manawatu

  • “Teaching includes specific training in collaborative group work...and students demonstrate effective co-operative and social skills that enable group processes to facilitate learning for all participants.”

    — Quality Teaching for Diverse Students in Schooling, BES., Appendix D

  • “Kagan really came out positively in the IEPs we just did, because our non-verbal ORS funded children had made such gains.”

    -T. Mackay, DP, Auckland

  • "Pedagogies built on these concepts are collaborative and reciprocal. Māori students benefit from a cooperative learning environment, and being able to discuss things with their peers in smaller groups facilitates Māori students’ learning"
