How can teachers teach students to be thinkers and collaborators if they themselves do not practice those skills?
This year's Symposium is the first one for Thinking Collaborative: Maximizing Capacity in Individuals and Organizations.
We will focus on the transition from two organizations into one, and the importance of collaborating and thinking
as two non-negotiables in schools. As Michael Fullan stated, "All the good work we're doing in schools
is just tinkering, unless we develop our identities as inquirers and collaborators."
We invite those of you who have completed the Adaptive Schools or Cognitive Coaching Foundation Seminar to join our community for two days of learning, relating and connecting. You will have the opportunity to network with colleagues from around the world and participate in large and small group sessions designed to enhance your effectiveness in supporting thinking and collaborating in your organization. Anyone who has completed foundation training is welcome to attend; registration is limited to 100, so register soon.
Our journey will begin Wednesday, January 23rd, with keynote speaker, Cile Chavez (http://www.cilechavez.com/, new window). Her topic will be "The Power and Promise of Thinking and Collaborating." Dr. Chavez's passion is to guide others in realizing their skills, talents, and potential in both their personal and professional lives. She emphasizes the power of modeling integrity, effective human relations, intelligent behavior, and enthusiasm. Her unique mixture of humor, storytelling, ideas, and metaphors has helped make her one of the most sought after speakers on contemporary leadership issues and possibilities. Dr. Chavez will be bringing copies of her most recent book, Spirit Movers, for sale at the Symposium. Autographed copies can also be purchased ahead of the Symposium on Dr. Chavez's Web site (new window).
We will also learn from Art Costa, Bob Garmston and Bruce Wellman, the co-developers of the two bodies of work, Cognitive CoachingSM and Adaptive Schools. All three will be present at this year's Symposium. In addition, there will be opportunities to interact with the Co-Executive Directors of Thinking Collaborative, Michael Dolcemascolo and Jane Ellison, and the two Directors, Carolee Hayes and Carolyn McKanders.
Thursday will include small group workshops and book studies as well as opportunities to connect as a community of learners.
We look forward to you joining us on this journey. Please contact Lisa Joseph, ccclj@aol.com or 303–683–6146 with questions.

Group Coaching
Los Angeles Unified School District
Los Angeles, California
Trainer: Carolee Hayes
Contact: Mylene Keipp
E-mail: mylene.keipp@lausd.netNOTE: Participation is limited to Los Angeles Unified School District staff.Cohort 1:
May 13, 2013
Cohort 2:
May 14, 2013Prerequisite: Cognitive Coaching Seminars®.
Description: Cognitive CoachingSM was developed as a means to support individuals. As knowledge of that process developed, questions arose about how the same knowledge, skills and tools might be applied with groups and organizations. Given the shortage of time in schools, it makes sense to think about group and organizational applications of coaching. This academy will consider how group coaching differs from facilitation and individual coaching. Core group coaching capabilities will be described as a framework for thinking about how small group coaching skills build on individual coaching skills. Applications and possibilities for the impact of group coaching will be explored. Principles and practices for using Cognitive CoachingSM as a tool for developing collaborative groups will be presented.
-
Cognitive CoachingSM in the Classroom
No trainings of this type scheduled at this time.
Prerequisite: Cognitive Coaching Seminars®.
Description: As Cognitive CoachingSM permeates the culture of a school and becomes a part of the way staff interacts with each other that way of communicating also extends to students, parents and community members. This academy will focus on the ways teachers are using Cognitive CoachingSM with students and in parent-teacher conferences. Perhaps the most basic unit in any school‚'s communication with those outside the school is the parent-teacher conference. Applying Cognitive CoachingSM to this key form of communication enhances parents' understanding of their child‚'s learning, their teacher‚'s interpersonal communication skills and the school‚'s norms of thinking and collaboration. Without classroom applications of Cognitive CoachingSM ideals, the values and beliefs of Cognitive CoachingSM will live and die with the adults in the system. Many teachers use the principles of Cognitive CoachingSM intuitively or informally with their students. Applying Cognitive CoachingSM in a deliberate, intentional way increases the self-directedness of students.
-
Cognitive CoachingSM for School Leaders
No trainings of this type scheduled at this time.
Prerequisite: Cognitive Coaching Seminars®.
Description: When Cognitive CoachingSM is a priority with the principal of a school, he or she surpasses the concept of the principal as instructional leader and becomes the organizational developer of the school. As such, the principal's focus is on developing: 1) shared norms and values, 2) knowledge of principals of learning and teaching, 3) collaborative decision-making structures, and 4) processes that provide for ongoing growth, efficiency and effectiveness. Leaders who use Cognitive CoachingSM increase the capacity for self-directedness within their organization. This Academy will explore the ways in which principals can embed the principles of thinking and collaboration into the culture of their building, so that they are expected ways of interacting with everyone in the school.
Proficiency Modules
Proficiency modules are one-day trainings designed to deepen knowledge and skill acquired in Part 1 of the Cognitive Coaching Seminars®. Modules can be implemented individually or in a 2-, 3-, 4- or 5-day sequence. Modules provide an opportunity for participants to customize training to meet their unique needs. The following are the types of Proficiency Module training currently available:
-
Promoting Self-Directedness
—deepens participants understanding of the concept of holonomy and its inherent tensions. States of mind are revisited for richer use in coaching individuals and groups.
-
Using Data to Mediate Thinking
—designed to support principals and coaches wishing to develop a culture where data is a source of continual renewal and improvement. Participants will have the opportunity to review and consider the processes of the Cognitive CoachingSM Planning and Reflecting Map in relation to using data to mediate thinking. The module will support both individual and group coaching using data.
-
Coaching with Filters of Perception
—reviews the learning about Filters of Perception from the Cognitive Coaching Seminars®. In addition other filters are introduced. Participants will consider how filters of perception relate to cognitive shift.
-
Reflecting and Planning Maps
—explores each region of the planning and reflecting maps and provides participants with the opportunity to deepen their understanding of the relationship between the two maps.
-
Coaching Tools
—gives participants an opportunity to review and work for greater proficiency with the basic coach's toolkit: rapport, pausing, paraphrasing, probing and inquiring.
-
The Problem-Resolving Map
—provides deep review of the Problem-Resolving Map. Participants will practice using the tool of pacing using a rubric. The Lead and the strategies for inviting cognitive shift will be revisited.
An outline of training topics covered in the Proficiency Modules can be seen in this PDF document: Proficiency Modules Outline (40 KB, new window).
