By Arthur Costa Research indicates that teaching is a complex intellectual activity and that teachers who think at higher levels produce students who are higher achieving, more cooperative, and better problem solvers. It is the invisible skills of teaching, the thinking processes that underlie instructional decisions, which produce superior instruction. Cognitive CoachingSM is a service-marked model developed by Arthur Costa and Robert Garmston that capitalizes upon and enhances teachers' cognitive processes. Cognitive CoachingSM is a form of mediation that may be applied to professional interactions in a variety of settings and situations with the intention of enhancing self-directed learning.
