Kagan Cooperative Learning Day 2

Jennie has a lovely friendly professional manner. She was clear and modelled the structures in an easy to follow manner.

Good hands on experiences - it was great to use the structures within our day and see how they work. Great ideas for improving both knowledge and social skills. Easy to follow structures that can be used with different content - allowing for fabulous scaffolding for all abilities.

Kagan Cooperative Learning Day 2

Really practical! I always value a workshop that I can go away and use a multitude of ideas the next day. Jennie was friendly, approachable, helpful. Uses strategies to connect with all learning styles.

I can tell you have been a teacher as you make links & supply management strategies for implementing what we've learnt. Since doing Kagan, I have noticed a big change in the work ethic and enthusiasm of my class. My lower students in maths have shown accelerated progress and I can cover more than doing only one style (ability groups).

Kagan Cooperative Learning Days 1 & 2

The content of the two days makes sense - useful. proves that it is more effective at getting students engaged & feeling safe to share and contribute in class. I like the focus on the importance of social skills.

Jennie was fantastic - made our learning fun! Clear presentation and modelled how to teach Kagan Structures very well. I’m looking forward to using Kagan Structures in my class shortly! A lot to take in but taking Jennie’s advice to try and master a few first.

Kagan Cooperative Meetings Days 1 & 2

The content was useful, relevant and practical. Lots of structures unpacked so we could see how to use them to run co-operative meetings.

Jennie was fabulous - knowledgeable - able to frame up examples of how these structures would work in schools. Sense of humour and made a place for fun.

Thank you for a great 2 days of PD.

Kagan Cooperative Learning Day 1

Really relevant structures that I will implement in my classroom next week. Looking forward to sharing these new structures with my class.

Jennie was very clear with interesting instruction. We all had fun and felt safe to share.

I would recommend this PD for all BTs.

Kagan Cooperative Learning Days 3 & 4

Loved the new structures and how I can use these in my class. Looked at my programme and where I can do more in my daily teaching (I liked this).

Jennie was well-prepared and clear with messages. Answers questions well. Great links to different levels around the school.

Kagan Win-Win Discipline Day 1

Gives excellent practical information that aligns to PB4L concepts. Reinforces what good things we are already doing, enhances what we are doing well and takes it further.

Jennie delivers a clear and concise picture of the concepts. Makes the learning easy to use with good examples and opportunities to practice the learning as you go.

Thanks Jennie - another great sessions - lots to think about and feel excited moving forward.

Kagan Cooperative Learning Days 1 & 2

I find the content encouraging for the students that have had no voice.

It will enable them to have a turn. It will encourage through support of their team more self worth. I am seeing it used in many classes throughout the school.

Jennie encouraged and supported first time participants, gave time to practice structures that needed more learning. Her educator experiences showed an understanding of teachers’ load throughout the day.

Kagan Cooperative Learning Day 1

Great content - what I really get from this is that the programme can be used a lot with ESOL children who are visual and tactile learners and often reluctant to contribute, due to lack of language.

Would recommend this course to support staff who have ESOL groups.

Jennie was friendly and approachable.
