        Cognitive Coaching(SM) for Educational Leaders.

    Cognitive Coaching(SM) was developed as a means to support teachers
    with their teaching. It is based upon the premise that teaching is a
    professional act and Coaches within schools support teachers to
    become more resourceful in their teaching. Many schools have
    employed coaches to work with their community and some education
    systems are employing coaches to support teachers to improve
    teaching and learning across their contexts.

    As knowledge of the Cognitive Coaching(SM) process has developed,
    questions arise about how the same knowledge, skills and tools might
    be applied with groups and organisations. Given the shortage of time
    in schools and the inherent collaborative culture of schools and
    teaching, it makes sense to think and learn about the groups and
    organisational aspects of coaching.

    When 'thinking' and 'self directedness' is the priority of the
    Educational leader... or Coach... he or she becomes the
    organisational developer of the school or the District and this role
    can be enhanced by assisting them to develop:

       1. Shared norms and values,
       2. Knowledge of principles of learning and
          teaching,
       3. Collaborative decision-making structures,
          and
       4. Processes that provide for ongoing growth, efficiency and
          effectiveness

    This workshop is an introduction to Cognitive Coaching(SM) and will
    explore the ways in which leaders can embed the principles of
    thinking and collaboration into the culture of their building, so
    that they are expected ways of interacting with everyone in the
    organisation.
