Supporting Thinking for Increased Performance
The newly adopted Ohio Teacher Evaluation System (OTES) is aligned to the Ohio Standards for Educators and builds on current research regarding the importance of ongoing assessment and feedback. The OTES model relies on the capacity of the evaluator to facilitate constructive pre and post conferences that promote thoughtful reflection on teaching and learning. The Cognitive CoachingSM seminar develops the coaching skills and discussion toolbox of participants to better prepare them to engage in these important conversations. With a coaching trainer who is also an OTES evaluator, each session will be aligned to the tenets of OTES and specifically tailored to address the learning needs and concerns of those tasked with conducting OTES evaluations. OHIO IMPROVEMENT PROCESS
Effective TBTs, BLTs require skilled leadership. The foundation of these crucial conversations rests in the capacity of school leaders to build strong teams. Cognitive CoachingSM will develop interpersonal skills that enhance effective collaboration.
BUILDING TEACHER CAPACITY
Cognitive CoachingSM supports individuals and organizations in becoming self-directed, and in turn, become self-managing, self-monitoring and self-modifying. Research suggests CCSM is linked to increased student test scores, a positive impact on teacher efficacy and thinking, and increased teacher collaboration.
COMMON CORE/ NEXT GENERATION ASSESSMENTS
Increased levels of student learning requires teachers who constantly rethink and refine their craft. Cognitive CoachingSM provides a set of support tools to administrators and coaches that build each teacher’s capacity to make decisions that support the type of student learning required to meet the demands of new standards and assessments.
