WHY? Kagan Structures are research-based instructional strategies designed to boost student engagement, collaboration, and academic achievement. By implementing the Essential 5 (like RallyRobin and Quiz-Quiz-Trade), teachers can create active, student-centered classrooms where every learner participates. These tools support classroom management, build communication skills, and enhance learning outcomes—making them a valuable addition to any LPS teacher’s instructional toolbox. This training helps those who find themselves asking, "How do I teach this topic? How do I get students talking productively? How can I make this more interesting?"
