Most Kagan Structures are designed to increase student engagement and cooperation. The good things about  structures is that in the same amount of time that the teacher could call on and respond to two or three students in the class, each giving one answer, the teacher can have every student give several answers.]]> 2017-06-14 18:59:10 UTC https://padlet.com/20040035/21pmn34jwcib/wish/176450298 How do Kagan Structures work with multiple intelligences and brain science? 20040035 https://padlet.com/20040035/21pmn34jwcib/wish/176450699 There are many structures.

The traditional teacher does most of the talking and is the hardest working person in the class. Structures reverse that. The teacher still provides instruction, but then sets students to work in teams so students do the talking and the work. Using the structures becomes  automatic and teaching becomes more of a joy because students are so much.]]> 2017-06-14 19:04:28 UTC https://padlet.com/20040035/21pmn34jwcib/wish/176451085 20040035 https://padlet.com/20040035/21pmn34jwcib/wish/176451492 2017-06-14 19:07:16 UTC https://padlet.com/20040035/21pmn34jwcib/wish/176451492 20040035 https://padlet.com/20040035/21pmn34jwcib/wish/176451727 2017-06-14 19:08:55 UTC https://padlet.com/20040035/21pmn34jwcib/wish/176451727 20040035 https://padlet.com/20040035/21pmn34jwcib/wish/176451767 2017-06-14 19:09:21 UTC https://padlet.com/20040035/21pmn34jwcib/wish/176451767 20040035 https://padlet.com/20040035/21pmn34jwcib/wish/176451821 2017-06-14 19:09:47 UTC https://padlet.com/20040035/21pmn34jwcib/wish/176451821 20040035 https://padlet.com/20040035/21pmn34jwcib/wish/176453056 2017-06-14 19:19:28 UTC https://padlet.com/20040035/21pmn34jwcib/wish/176453056
