KAGAN STRUCTURES FOR SECONDARY SCIENCE

Kagan Structures to Engage your students with science!

2 Day workshop

If you teach Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Earth Science, or Physical Science, this is your dream workshop.

Infuse your everyday curriculum with meaning and excitement.

Amplify student learning with Kagan Structures. The day of the lone scientist is over!

Align your science instruction with the future: teach with successful teamwork.

Avoid the pitfalls of group work—implement true research-based, proven cooperative learning. Make your science classes hands-on, minds-on, active learning explorations. Learn how to set up your science labs so everyone is engaged and some students don't take over!

Awaken students' natural curiosity and let them discover the scientist within.

  • “This was a very fun professional development activity. The content I learned here will make an immediate impact on my classroom and teaching style.”

    —GABE DALTON, 9-12TH GRADE BIOLOGY TEACHER

  • “The content was great and so relevant to today's science classroom, no matter the subject or grade!”

    —LAUREN DENEVE, 6TH-8TH GRADE TEACHER

  • “All content is usable not only in my science class, but I could use it in any type of class.”

    - DAVID CAMPOS, SCIENCE TEACHER

  • “The content was amazing! I feel like I can walk out of here and start right away! I don’t know why I haven’t been using the Kagan Structures the whole time!”

    -LAUREN FISHER, HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE TEACHER

We think we’re doing ‘it’…

but sometimes it’s a wish not a strategy.

The NZC - Key Competencies and Values

Kagan provides teachers with a way to seamlessly integrate the front end of the NZC - Values, and The Key Competencies. We develop relationships, social skills, and values, and break down the barriers between students and their ‘biases’. It is up to us to help our students see past the ‘exterior’ and find those ‘uncommon commonalities’., so they get to know each other at a deeper level.
