Cognitive Coaching Foundation Seminar: Days 1 to 8

Become A Genuine Catalyst In Empowering Other Educators

Are you facing obstacles in helping other teachers and educators become more self-directed in their work? Or in coaching them through complex issues around their own teaching or learning? Perhaps, given that teaching is such a complex intellectual activity, you’d just like to get access to more tools, skills and maps that will make it easier for you to help others become more successful.

If any of these challenges sound familiar, the eight-day premier coaching program Cognitive Coaching will help you build the skills to help others transform their thinking. Pioneered by two thought leaders of the educational world, Art Costa and Bob Garmston, this in-depth program has been transforming the professional and personal lives of educators around the globe for over 30 years. During the Cognitive Coaching Seminars, you’ll be provided with the maps, tools and skills to work with others to help them become more engaged, resourceful and self-directed in their work. Put simply, you’ll help people to build their capacity to be truly self-directed in their own work and their work with Others.

“Having made the decision to introduce Cognitive Coaching to my school, I spent some time researching courses and providers. I prefer to work with those that have been recommended by colleagues and contacts and Gavin’s name was the one that kept being mentioned. After a number of conversations about what I was trying to achieve, both with Gavin and a number of other coaching training providers, it soon became obvious that Gavin had an unrivaled knowledge of and passion for Cognitive Coaching. My instinct proved right and the quality of the training and support provided by Gavin was first class. I don’t hesitate to recommend Gavin to any organisation looking to establish a coaching culture. With his support, you can be assured that the changes brought about will be authentic and sustainable.”
