Cognitive Coaching

Cognitive CoachingSM is a research-based model that capitalizes upon and enhances teachers’ cognitive processes.

School leaders and teachers have many decisions to make at the organizational, systems and individuals levels. Through the Cognitive Coaching process, participants are guided in a one-on-one setting, through planning, implementation, reflection or problem-solving conversations in order to be clearer about desired results and next steps. Data is often used as the basis of conversations, and participants learn to develop autonomy in their thinking. Schedule a cognitive coaching session. Cognitive Coaching sessions typically lasts 45 – 60 minutes.

Thought Partnering

A Thought Partner is someone who:

  1. Challenges your thinking.
  2. Causes you to modify or change your paradigms, assumptions or actions
  3. Has information or a way of thinking that provokes you to innovate or otherwise leads to value creation in your business, career or life.

Whether you’re an educational innovator, leader or consultant, sometimes you need to talk through your ideas with someone outside of your immediate sphere of colleagues. Working with a thought partner enables you to adopt different viewpoints, consider broader options and provides a sounding board for enhancing existing ideas. Whether you’re thinking through the big picture, details, ideas, processes or professional relationships, discussing these with a thought partner is beneficial.
