We have teachers and counselors who are doing nothing short of brilliant, and we want the community to see this, recognize it and celebrate it.
Cognitive Coaching
The Arizona K12 Center is providing training in Cognitive Coaching℠ at the Office of the Pima County School Superintendent (200 N. Stone, Tucson) this spring. In this workshop, participants will learn ways to expand and refine knowledge and skills to promote more effective teaching and learning. The focus is on strategies that enhance teachers’ intellectual growth and strengthen instructional decision-making. During the workshop the maps and tools of Cognitive Coaching℠ will be demonstrated and practiced. Specifically, participants will learn to: establish rapport, create trust, and conduct planning, reflecting, and problem-resolving conversations. These maps and tools develop teacher self-efficacy and cognitive autonomy, while also developing a sense of community within a school.
About Cognitive Coaching Seminars®
The mission of Cognitive Coaching is to produce self-directed persons with the cognitive capacity for excellence both independently and as members of a community. 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 Coaching is a research-based model that capitalizes upon and enhances teachers’ cognitive processes.
The Cognitive Coaching Foundation Seminar prepares participants to support colleagues as they explore the thinking behind their practice. It is not a “train the trainer” model, but additional learning about the CCSM process is available through Cognitive Coaching Advanced Seminar and other learning opportunities.
Facilitator: Mary Bouley is an experienced educator and consultant with expertise in coaching, mentoring, project management, and professional development. She is a certified Cognitive Coaching trainer and specializes in one-on-one coaching as well as group facilitation. Through the Arizona K-12 Center, Mary has been providing Cognitive Coaching Foundation training for the past 4 years.

The professional development goal of the Arizona Race to the Top project is to increase teacher knowledge, improve instructional practice and application in the classroom, and effectively integrate project-based learning. SAREC will provide professional development opportunities to educators in Southern Arizona schools to meet this goal in our region.
Areas of focus to achieve these goals and objectives include the development and delivery of training in three phases.
Phase 1 – Awareness
Arizona English Language Arts/Literacy and/or Mathematics Standards trainings focused on overall awareness, deconstruction of the standards, and instructional shifts. Phase 1 workshops are specifically designed to be delivered with fidelity to ensure a consistent message is achieved regardless of the presenting organization. They may be offered in a variety of delivery modes: face-to-face, ADE online course, and webinars.
Phase 2 – Application
Arizona English Language Arts/Literacy and/or Mathematics Standards trainings focused on content knowledge, application in the classroom, and pedagogy aligned to the rigor and expectations of the standards. Phase II workshops address Arizona’s Common Core Standards by incorporating the instructional shifts, mathematical practices, and best practices for instruction and support of student learning as it relates to instructional strategies, student engagement, and critical thinking/problem solving.
Phase 3 – Integration
Arizona English Language Arts/Literacy and/or Mathematics Standards embedded in: STEM, RTI, Career and Technical Education (CTE). Phase III workshops focus on differentiated instruction, content integration across subject areas, project-based learning, and connections to other initiatives. Rigorous, integrated learning and purposeful classroom assessments are emphasized along with the development of significant partnerships.

Critical Thinking Skills and Common Core Implementation
(6 Hours)
Teaching basic skills will not result in teacher's who are
great critical thinkers. Teaching critical thinking, however, will likely
produce significant gains in basic skills. Common Core provides a tremendous
opportunity to focus instruction on higher order thinking skills resulting in
increased student achievement. This six-hour session will focus on both
the new mental models required for successful Common Core implementation and
specific strategies for ensuring that students think deeply while engaged in
learning.
