More planning
A bolt-on to schemes of work
Cooperative learning is already happening in our
classrooms. Kagan structures can help teachers facilitate
this more effectively.
Cooperative learning increases the accountability of our pupils and encourages
them to take ownership of their learning rather than
over-relying on their teacher.
It’s not about additional content;
it’s about increasing collaboration,
improving relationships and
raising achievement.
Myth busting
Group work is not collaborative
learning
Clear structures will ensure that all pupils work collaboratively and are accountable
for the outcomes.

2. Student 2 picks a card, reads the question aloud and allows 5 seconds of “think time”.
3. Student 3 answers the question.
4. Student 4 paraphrases [says in own words] and praises or coaches.
5. Students rotate roles one person clockwise for each new round.

Single RoundRobin
1. Teacher assigns a topic or question.2. In teams, students respond orally
each taking a single turn at responding.
Each teammate gets a turnCould be used for team
buildingCould be used as a verbal
mind map Good for sharing student
work when team mates have a different amount of material to cover such as a written story or poem.

Continuous RoundRobin
1. Teacher assigns a topic or question with multiple possible responses.
2. In teams, students respond orally each taking a turn contributing one idea.
3. After all teammates have responded, students respond again contributing another idea. Continuous RoundRobin resumes for multiple turns.
Useful when there are may items and the students are generating an oral list.
