Kagan Certified Trainers for India

Brian and Heather Nelsen

Brian and Heather Nelsen
Brian and Heather have 30 years of both urban and rural teaching experience at various levels in multiple countries as certified teachers, trainers and coaches. After serving as professors of education in Lakeland, Florida, they moved with their three children to India to teach at the Kodaikanal International IB World School where Brian served as the Prek-8 Principal and Heather as the PYP & MYP Media Specialist and Curriculum Coordinator. While at KIS in India, they used Kagan Cooperative Learning Structures to engage students in learning and actively involved teachers and staff during staff meetings and professional development sessions. They collaborated with Berkley School and other NGOs to provide access to high quality engaging education for rural schools in India. While in India, they also helped to build schools and facilitated teacher training within the Kodaikanal community. Upon returning to Florida, Heather & Brian taught at the Kagan Model School, Berkley Charter, for nine years. Since the beginning of their teaching careers, they have consistently used Kagan Cooperative Learning Structures to provide engaging and transformational learning experiences for all.

Kagan is the best! I learned how to engage students using Kagan Cooperative Structures with Brian and Heather in India and I still use it today with my artist learning communities!
~Teacher & Artist, 6th grade Middle Years Programme - IB India

I have been teaching for 30 plus years and really didn’t expect to get anything new from this. I was completely wrong! I learned so much and can’t wait to start implementing it! I am looking forward to Day 2!
~Teacher, 7th-12th grade Mathematics

Well worth our time! This is one workshop I actually feel like I will use!
~Teacher, 6, 9,10,& 12 Secondary Science

Heather & Brian are a great team! They understand the challenges faced by educators & they present their content in a relevant & practical manner.
~Teacher, 8th-12th grade Social Studies

Brian & Heather are dynamic trainers! I have attended many workshops and have never seen a group so engaged. Following the training, I have observed 80% of my teachers using the structures consistently with their students.
~High School Principal
