I really enjoyed this post. Even though I am not studying elementary education I really found this post to helpful for my subject (Social Studies). I plan to have my students working in groups often and I always wondered how I can make sure all of the students are actually participating.

The Kagan structure that you use within your classroom sounds like a great idea. I like how it enables you to work with all of your students different personality types. This method also mixes the best of both goals that as a future educator I will do my best to Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03990738076424709288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8490401661609873820.post-44474377915741241322013-03-21T18:57:09.437-05:002013-03-21T18:57:09.437-05:00Diane,

Like Lindsey posted above, I too, am a student in Dr. Strange's EDM 310 course at the University of South Alabama. As I read your post, I could not help but feel thoroughly inspired. I know that when I was younger, I most likely fell into several of the categories you listed. I was a little bit of a socialite, a wanderer, a loner, etc..

Great result! 11 out of 12 groups got all their problems correct and could explain how to solve them. The twelfth group got 9 of the 10 problems correct. We've also just started Kagan, and the kids LOVE the opportunity to work together in a structured way where EVERYone gets to yesteachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05509552896875442908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8490401661609873820.post-49943381339162423352013-02-24T07:35:28.425-06:002013-02-24T07:35:28.425-06:00Hi Lindsey,

There are many others structures I use in all subjects, but this particular one works best with math stations. <br />I have a student teacher right now named Lindsay!<br />Let me know if you have any other questions.<br />DianeDianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01959092406380487504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8490401661609873820.post-88003219735656745882013-02-23T17:57:46.395-06:002013-02-23T17:57:46.395-06:00Hi, great question!

That way all of the children are engaged in the math rather than just one or two.
