In his article Dr. Kagan provides the following:
- Thirteen benefits of replacing Solo Worksheet Work with Kagan Structures.
- The difference between Solo Worksheet Work and Solo Project Work.
- Different kinds of memory systems and different optimal coaching for skill and knowledge worksheets.
Dr. Kagan details four Kagan Structures to replace Solo Worksheet work:
- RallyCoach
- Sage-N-Scribe
- DoOne–TellOne
- SeeOne–DoOne–TeachOne
The biggest advantages of replacing Solo Worksheet Work with Kagan Structures is students receive immediate peer support and corrections as they do each problem. No longer do they get graded papers back after they have forgotten doing the problems. No longer do they just glance at the grade and file their worksheet. They received immediate, supportive coaching. What do students say about working together instead of alone? Its fun!
Why have students struggling alone or mind-wandering
when we can have every student supported and engaged?
