Dr. Spencer Kagan and his colleagues have developed Kagan Cooperative Learning, a leading approach to cooperative learning strategies. Central to the Kagan approach are simple, yet powerful cooperative learning instructional strategies called Kagan Structures, such as Numbered Heads Together, Timed Pair Share, RallyRobin, and Quiz-Quiz-Trade. Kagan Structures are implemented worldwide across all grade levels to enhance student engagement and foster effective learning.
