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 Coaching^SM 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.
