Cooperative Learning

 

At Vista, all teachers have been extensively trained in Kagan Cooperative Learning Structures and Kagan Structures are present in every classroom on a regular basis.  Kagan Cooperative Learning Structures are step-by-step instructional strategies that increase student engagement by setting a rich, structured collaborative learning environment.

 

Kagan Structures promote four major principles, following the acronym PIES:

 

  •  Positive Interdependence
  •  Individual Accountability
  •  Equal Participation
  •  Simultaneous Interaction

 

These four principles are key to enhancing the quality and efficiency of student learning and achievement.
