SO, I attended a conference a few months ago. One of the sessions included Kagan Instructional Structures, which are strategies and activities to build student engagement. The description sounded pretty interesting, so I decided to attend. I walked out of that 90-minute session with a wealth of knowledge, eagerness to learn more, and excitement about implementing the structures in my own classroom. Below, I've listed a few structures and videos as a guide for implementing them. Also, for more information on Kagan's Cooperative Learning structures, click here.
