9 years ago, @AAOTAS was a D-rated school, one of the lowest in the district. Today, we’re #1! @KaganOnline Cooperative Learning helped us transform our school culture and improve student learning outcomes. It is the initiative that drives the success of our school.

What a magical experience at @WaltDisneyWorld! Our students had the incredible opportunity to perform through the Disney Imagination Campus program, showcasing their hard work, talent, and passion on stage at Disney Springs. The trip was filled with memories that will last a lifetime. We are so proud of our performers @AAOTAS for representing our school community with excellence, creativity, and heart. A shoutout to our Disney Imagination Campus Coordinator, Jeff, who was so good with our students. Thank you to Disney Imagination Campus for an inspiring experience that empowered our students to shine bright!

I learned this Kagan structure last school year, and am trying to incorporate it into Math class. more. The students were so engaged, there was no time for off task behavior! #Centerpiece @KaganOnline

Our team @AAOTAS engaged in teambuilding using the @KaganOnline structure Team Charades. Intentional teambuilding lays the foundation for stronger academic interactions. As one of the Brain-Friendly Teaching Principles, Safety is essential, and teambuilding helps create that environment. When students feel safe, participation increases and learning follows. You can learn all about the 6 Brain-Friendly Teaching Principles in this workshop at the Kagan Summer Academy! kaganonline.com/workshops/ev…

During a training today, we used the @KaganOnline structure Similarity Groups to build relationships. The @AAOTAS team connected with colleagues who share a favorite restaurant. I’m looking forward to seeing this structure in classrooms this week!

5th grade is reviewing for their module test by using the structure Find-Someone-Who to review noun and verb concepts. The @KaganOnline book Cooperative Learning & Grammar has many wonderful resources for this structure and many others #kagancooperativelearning #kaganmodelschool

Our kindergarten students @AAOTAS used the @KaganOnline cooperative learning structure Quiz-Quiz-Trade to identify numbers and practice counting. This is a quick strategy to have students practice and review information!
