Effective School Leadership

Developing Principals through Cognitive Coaching

Jane L. Ellison and Carolee Hayes

See how to use Cognitive Coaching as a means to support students, parents, and teachers! At a time when principals are being asked to do more and more with less and less, the authors of this guide argue that when principals are supported by coaching it impacts their efficacy, consciousness, interdependence, flexibility, and craftmanship--while helping them internalize the processes for supporting teachers, students, and parents in those same ways. Through authentic examples, sample coaching conversations and research, the authors show you how coaches encourage and support the development of the principal. You explore the changing nature of the principalship; learn the intentions, purposes, and processes of Cognitive Coaching; see how other principals' lives might change if Cognitive Coaching were a routine part of the support system; learn insights into the metacognition of a Cognitive Coach, and much more.

"The examples of conversations between coaches and coaches were excellent and I think most administrators will be able to connect with the scenarios in some way. ...I think principals will read this also but I think for action to happen, superintendents need to embrace the ideas either on their own or as they are suggested by others. The book will provide a rationale for this important staff development decision." — Mimi DeRose, principal, Summit Elementary, Aurora, CO
