Cognitive Coaching is a model of coaching that focuses on self-directedness and the development of cognitive complexity. It was co-developed in 1984 by Arthur Costa and Robert Garmston as a synthesis of modern research, theory, and practice. This Learning Guide is designed to accompany and support a seminar intended to develop participants' understanding, skillfulness, capacities, and identity as a mediator who can, in turn, produce self-directed persons with cognitive capacity for high performance both independently and as members of a community.
