Each Kagan CL Structure leads you and your class through a powerful, proven sequence of engagement steps.
The Kagan CL Structure tools lead you and your class through every step of research-based engagement sequences — so you can be confident you're doing it right every time.
Everyone Answers! automatically detects your question type and recommends the best pair or team structure to get every student responding to every question.
This one tool can single-handedly transform your classroom from a place where some students participate sometimes into a beehive of active engagement by all.
Students love this structure for fun classbuilding questions and for learning. They mix in the class, pair up, and interact with a classmate. Then again. And again. Each time with a new partner and a new question you display. Make learning interactive and fun.
This digital version plays like a quiz-show review. Display the questions, students put their heads together in teams, and you select students to share their team's answer. Research on this structure alone shows more than a 25% gain in student quiz scores — the equivalent of turning C grades into A grades.
Super-helpful tools for managing the moments between the moments.
Use turn timers to show whose turn it is and how much time is left. Display an hourglass, or one of many countdown timers, to show the class how much time remains. Use stopwatches to time activities — or simply display the time and set alarms in style.
Click a button to randomly pick a student in teams of 3, 4, or 5 to share. Spin a spinner to pick Partner A or B to go first. Use fun prompts like “the partner with darker shoes” to select who's up — or customize your own prompts.
It used to be a chore to form and re-form teams. Not anymore! Form balanced cooperative learning teams with the click of a button. Want random pairs? Click. Want to split the class into two groups? Click. View or print your teams as cards or a list. Even lay teams out on a map of your classroom with multiple furniture types.
Build, organize, and share question sets of multiple question types — ready for any structure or activity. KaganTools handles typical right-or-wrong classroom questions, plus open-ended questions for student interaction, thinking, and discussion. Work on core academic curriculum and develop essential life skills like critical thinking, relationship building, and communication.

KaganTools comes pre-loaded with 100s of ready-to-use question sets — for the subjects, grades, and skills you teach.

KaganTools is designed to increase face-time and decrease screen-time. Technology has its place in the classroom — to improve engagement, not replace it.
KaganTools lives on the teacher's device and is designed to project to the classroom. Instead of working solo on devices, students interact in pairs and teams. We facilitate face-to-face interaction so students build belonging, social skills, and collaboration habits they'll use for life. Convert passive screen-time into active teamwork.
Teachers across grade levels are discovering new ways to keep students actively involved.
KaganTools has completely transformed the energy in my classroom. The interactive structures keep every student involved instead of just the few who usually raise their hands. I also love being able to customize the look and feel to match my teaching style and grade level.
The timers, engagement tools, and guided structures make classroom management so much smoother. My students stay focused because the activities feel dynamic and organized — and I spend less time explaining directions and more time teaching.
What impressed me most about KaganTools is how flexible it is. I can switch themes, layouts, and presentation styles depending on the lesson, and students respond really positively to the visual changes. It feels like a modern teaching companion built specifically for engagement.
Customize the look and feel of the platform with fonts, colors, layouts, themes, and design options to match your grade, your aesthetic, your teaching style — or your students' needs. Whether you prefer colorful and energetic, calm and minimalist, or school-themed palettes, KaganTools lets you design your own style and save multiple themes for different subjects, holidays, or any look you wish.
As a leader, you want technology that's easy to roll out, easy for teachers, and gives you the data you need to make informed instructional decisions. The KaganTools admin dashboard empowers leaders to:
