Cognitive Coaching is an intensive 8-day program that is a skill development program in which you will learn a process which facilitates high-level communication skills that are essential in a coaching relationship. These tools extend the thinking and resourcefulness of the person being coached. You, through the exploration of the coach's role, will consider and apply strategies relating to questioning behaviours, responding behaviours, linguistic tools and structures that ensure focused conversations. This model of coaching addresses the thought processes that precede "deciding" and "behaving". The ultimate goal is to support improved professional performance and enhanced decision making.

The education profession is unique in its responsibility for the growth and development of individuals. The thought processes behind our professional behaviour are what determine our effectiveness in our work with students. The value of this professional development opportunity is based on the proven potential to enhance teacher practice and to develop reflective, self-directed professionals whose impact on students is intentional and profound.
