Review
"Kaagan's book provides a growth focused tool kit that is unique in its presentation. A must-have for the professional library of the novice trainer or the experienced staff developer, it gives the ‘now what’ piece to enhance dialogue in school-specific learning situations, curriculum design sessions, or system-wide strategic planning." (Marti Richardson, President )

This review is from: 30 Reflective Staff Development Exercises for Educators (Paperback)
This is not a book of ice breakers or social games, but true reflective activities to do with your staff or educational group. Very useful and practical.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: 30 Reflective Staff Development Exercises for Educators (Paperback)
There were a couple of exercises that could be used with my staff but most were too long in duration. I was looking for brief ice-breakers not an entire lesson reflection. The book was quite expensive too.
