Learning Intentions:

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