What is Kagan Coaching?

Kagan Coaching offers specific and immediate feedback as teachers teach.

If you want to raise student achievement and reach every student then the evidence is clear: GOOD TEACHERS MAKE THE DIFFERENCE. Student achievement depends on teacher quality. Kagan Australia will help you master Kagan Cooperative Learning Structures, structures that transform the way teachers teach and students learn.

Why Do Teachers Need Coaching?

Although teachers are drawn to Kagan Structures because of their ease to use and their step-by-step guides there is still a need to ensure that structures are being used correctly. This is why you need to consider Kagan Coaching.

The challenges of implementing a new strategy can be substantial; often your staff will need assistance in the context of their own classroom with their own students. Kagan Coaching offers the chance for teachers to learn in context and have ‘in-the-moment’ support.

What You Will Learn to Do As A Coach

Kagan Australia coaches are able to unobtrusively give teachers feedback while they are teaching because students using Kagan Cooperative Structures are so engaged working in teams this allows time for the coach to work with the class teacher to acknowledge the positives and provide a correction.

No one is ever put on the spot, the corrections needed are made and everyone wins! Just as a football or netball coach would find it a mistake to wait until the game is over to give his/her players feedback; after the lesson — is too little and too late. Through Kagan Coaching, teachers see immediate benefits from correct implementation of structures. This is exciting, inspiring and rewarding and has an immediate impact on your student’s success.

If you are responsible for teacher professional learning, or a leader responsible for staff development, Kagan Coaching presents opportunities for the ‘growth’ of teachers at every level and can be an essential component to your school success.

Kagan Coaching allows teachers to increase retention from workshops; it helps to establish consistent classroom practices leading to continuous improvement.
