Cognitive Coaching is a research-based model that capitalizes upon and enhances teachers’ cognitive processes. In the eight-day Seminars, participants learn how to:
· develop trust and rapport
· develop an identity as a mediator of thinking
· utilize conversation structures for planning, reflecting and problem resolving
· develop teachers’ autonomy and sense of community
· develop higher levels of efficacy, consciousness, craftsmanship, flexibility and interdependence
· apply four support functions: coaching, evaluating, consulting, collaborating
· utilize the coaching tools of pausing, paraphrasing, and posing questions
· distinguish among the five forms of feedback
· use data to mediate thinking
