Kagan Publishing and Professional Development
Kagan Publishing and Professional Development is all about engagement! Central to most Kagan publications and workshops are Kagan Structures. You've probably heard of some popular Kagan Structures including Numbered Heads Together, RallyRobin, and Quiz-Quiz-Trade. Those Kagan Structures, and many more, are now used world-wide from kindergarten to adult education, in all academic subject areas to boost student engagement and learning. Kagan Structures produce revolutionary positive results. Teachers, schools, and districts use Kagan Structures to increase academic achievement, enhance self-esteem, create a more harmonious classroom climate, reduce discipline problems, and develop students' social skills and character virtues. How do such simple little teaching strategies have such a profoundly positive effect on so many dimensions of learning? Easy. It's all about engagement! Kagan Publishing & Professional Development offers workshops and products in a number of related topics relating to active student learning including, cooperative learning, brain-friendly instruction, Win-Win Discipline, classroom management, and more. While Kagan as a publishing and professional development organization has steadily grown in both it's offerings and popularity over the past few decades, some things have not changed: the central role of Kagan Structures in Kagan's trainings and publications and the firm commitment to and belief that, "It's All About Engagement!"
