Target Audience: teachers, instructional coaches, interventionists, and administrators

Cognitive Coaching℠ is a form of mediation that can be applied to professional interactions in a variety of settings and situations with the intention of enhancing self-directed learning. It is a composite of skills, strategies, maps, and tools as well as mental models and beliefs. It is also a model for classroom mediation to enhance students’ self-directed learning. Research on Cognitive Coaching℠ has linked its implementation to increased student achievement, greater teacher efficacy and satisfaction, higher levels of teacher cognition and professional, collaborative cultures. 

This one-day overview will address the purpose of Cognitive CoachingSM, how it fits with other support functions, and some of the tools the coach uses.  Participants will also experience what Cognitive CoachingSM looks like in action.

6 hours of PD/EILA will be awarded.
