Becoming a Cognitive Coach requires a commitment of your resources:
time, mental energy and openness to transforming your identity as a
helping person. Is it worth it? You bet! This book contains stories
of the learning journeys of practitioners and the impact that
Cognitive Coaching has had on staff members individually and
collectively, on school culture, students and, of course on
themselves.
*Arthur L. Costa, professor emeritus, California State University;
co-author of Cognitive Coaching: Developing Self-Directed Leaders
and Learners*
Some synonyms for the word “transform are: change, modify, adjust,
vary, amend, revise, rework. This book, true to its name, does all
these things for Cognitive Coaching. It takes the basic principles
and practices created by Art Costa and Bob Garmston and learned in
the Foundation Seminar, and transforms them into applications that
range from teacher-student interactions in the classrooms to
principal-teacher interactions in a school, to district and
state/province level interactions that impact tens of thousands of
students and teachers. We learn how using Cognitive Coaching with
novice teachers and combining coaching with video feedback with
veterans serves a range of generations of teachers. We understand
how the maps and tools of Cognitive Coaching influence thinking in
a variety of socio-economic settings and how just taking away the
need to 'fix' others truly transforms both the coach and the
coachee. Gavin Grift’s introduction and personal journey of
coaching serves as a catalyst for expanding the infinite ways in
which this seminal work is transforming.
