A Vision of K-12 Students Today! WHY MUST WE MOVE INTO 21st CENTURY TEACHING AND LEARNING?
COGNITIVE COACHING Prepares Our Interns for Teaching 21st Century Learners Cognitive Coaching is a method of instruction that recognizes the strengths of METACOGNITION—thinking about thinking– and its role in independent learning. ~Costa and Garmston
Looking at Metacognition…The self reflection and self regulationbefore, during, and after an action. • Developing a plan of action “What should I do first?” • Maintaining and monitoring action “How am I doing?” • Evaluating action “How well did I do and… WHY?”
TRUST… Must Come First! In a trusting relationship, the mentor works to help the teacher intern to feel safe about thinking critically about his/her teaching andlearning through self-reflection. ~Costa and Garmston
Cognitive Coaching Conversations! Mentors use dialogue to mediate teacher interns through planning, reflection and decision making, helping them to become aware of their own insights and learning. ~Costa and Garmston
Major Findings of Research on Teacher Cognition… 1. All behavior is rationally based on rather simple cognitive maps of reality. • Talking aloud about their thinking and decisions about teaching energizes teachers and causes them to refine their cognitive maps and hence their instructional choices and behaviors. • Certain invisible, cognitive skills drive teaching performance.
Major Findings… • These invisible cognitive skills can be categorized in four domains: • Pre-active (Planning) consists of all the intellectual functions performed before instruction • Interactive (Teaching) includes the multiple decisions made during teaching • Reflective (Analyzing and Reflecting) consists of all those mental processes used to think back on, analyze, and judge instruction • Projective (Applying) abstracts from the experience, synthesizes new generalizations, and carries them to future situations
