rickatkagan - Moderator Aug 30 @ 8:10 PM EDT

#kaganchat A1 I love when I see Ts share at faculty mtg, grade level & dept mtg, PLC mtg, etc how they're implementing Kagan structures!

VernAtKagan Aug 30 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1. SAM Clubs were one of the systematic ways we supported implementation. Teachers sharing with teachers was always powerful. #kaganchat

reinhardt1200 Aug 30 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1: Ts were given refresher opportunities at our summer T Conference #KaganChat @SCSLearning

jessica_reddout Aug 30 @ 8:11 PM EDT

jessica_reddout Aug 30 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A1: via my role, I bring in cooperative structures during coteaching/modeling/coaching sessions since we aren't 1:1 w/tech #kaganchat

VernAtKagan Aug 30 @ 8:13 PM EDT

@reinhardt1200 Tremendously important. The next step is to get them to use structures themselves so they are modeling. #kaganchat

jessica_reddout Aug 30 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A1: our instructional coaches do an amazing job modeling structures & providing coaching opportunities #kaganchat

geiscas Aug 30 @ 8:13 PM EDT

@VernAtKagan We pick a structure to work on, discuss how we are going to use it. meet back up at talk about how it went. Repeat! #KaganChat

JackieAtKagan Aug 30 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A1: anyone create files with structure ideas to share w/departments or grade levels? #kaganchat

VernAtKagan Aug 30 @ 8:14 PM EDT

VernAtKagan Aug 30 @ 8:14 PM EDT

@jessica_reddout It is possible to be "informal" but still be "intentional" in these conversations. #kaganchat

DeAnneDanley Aug 30 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A1 Model Kagan Structures during professional development sessions and team meetings for Ts. #KaganChat

VernAtKagan Aug 30 @ 8:15 PM EDT

@jessica_reddout Important for teachers to see exemplars. Why we set up times for teachers to watch others use structures. #kaganchat

KaganOnline - Moderator Aug 30 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@VernAtKagan @jessica_reddout Absolutely! All discussion is valuable. #KaganChat

jessica_reddout Aug 30 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@VernAtKagan those quick chats after using a structure really help me to reflect on PIES and the learning that took place #KaganChat

jessica_reddout Aug 30 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A1: I also hope to learn more about implementing structures and their power in ny classroom #KaganChat

TarahTesmer Aug 30 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@KaganOnline Exactly - it's a 1:world environment and collaboration on and offline is a must #kaganchat

VernAtKagan Aug 30 @ 8:20 PM EDT

I think when teachers share with each they develop confidence and a willingness to take more intellectual risks. #kaganchat

Mr_Hernandez_21 Aug 30 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A2: I hope to open the minds of other educators. Not to be afraid of change or letting their kids converse about learning #KaganChat

A5: Seesaw, Facebook and Google+ great ways to show off kids engaged and get people discussing structures you are using. #kaganchat

VernAtKagan Aug 30 @ 8:51 PM EDT

@rickatkagan @ColemanPlaceES Agreed. We took our board members on walk throughs so they could see them in person. Powerful. #kaganchat

VernAtKagan Aug 30 @ 8:52 PM EDT

@rickatkagan @ColemanPlaceES We also used structures with board members in our retreats so they could experience structures. #kaganchat
