Kagan Professional Development, founded by Dr. Spencer Kagan, offers world-renowned workshops on cooperative learning structures — simple, repeatable instructional strategies that transform how students interact, engage, and learn together. With over 250 Kagan Structures developed and refined over decades of research and classroom application, Kagan workshops provide teachers with practical, ready-to-use strategies such as Numbered Heads Together, Rally Robin, Quiz-Quiz-Trade, and Timed Pair Share that increase student engagement, deepen understanding, and build social skills simultaneously. Research shows an average effect size of .92 when using Kagan Structures, indicating that students who would score at the 50th percentile in a traditional classroom could score at the 82nd percentile with Kagan instruction. Kagan offers multiple pathways to access their training, including workshops at venues across the United States throughout the year, their premier Summer Academy at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, live online workshops, Winter Academies, a USA Tour, and the option for schools and districts to host customised workshops on-site. Each workshop provides hands-on practice with structures, making the training immediately transferable to the classroom.
