Cognitive Capital: Investing in Teacher Quality

Arthur L. Costa

4.5/5 ( ratings)

Building on the authors' celebrated work in Cognitive Coaching, this important book provides teachers, schools, and policy leaders with the rationale and new direction for enhancing the development of the intellectual capacity of educators, their performance, and their ultimate effects on student learning. The authors focus on assisting teachers in developing awareness of their own ability to make effective judgments based on all their capabilities and experiences. When teachers weave internal expertise and external criteria together into the exquisite tapestry of teaching and learning, they gain confidence in their ability to make a difference for all students. Rather than spending time becoming better inspectors and enforcers, Cognitive Capital calls for skillful leaders to engage educators' thought processes in order to promote practices that have lasting impacts on their students.
