Participants Say...
"Lots of information on the basics of Kagan Cooperative Learning. Really, really helpful. I have tried Kagan for a few years based upon my own reading about it, but the workshop has transformed my understanding! The instructor completely knew the workshop inside and out- energising real life practise at the structures was given, all questions were answered clearly so I felt the big picture made sense. BEST training I have been on in years! Thank you. I feel this will have a real, immediate impact on both my teaching and the children's learning."
J. Pearson, Assistant Headteacher
"Content: Strategies for instant engagement and how to structure equal participation. The instructor was very friendly and made me feel very comfortable throughout the session. I could ask questions with confidence as I knew I would not be judged just reassured. I enjoyed the training and I can't wait to use it in my class, my head is already exploding with ideas!"
C. Marsden, Teacher
"Content: Absolutely relevant for our children in our classes, in our schools, in our world! Realstic and 'do-able'. Strategies for instant engagement and how to structure equal participation. The instructor was really down to earth and understands 'our world' which makes trusting what he says so easy- made me a believer. Loved the practical aspects- can't wait for Monday morning to watch the miracle start to take place!"
G. V. Vuuren, Teacher
"In my thirteen years of attending workshops and training, this has been the ONLY information I have received that I feel I will use until I retire."
