Art Costa and Bob Garmston have provided an update on their seminal work in cognitive coaching, updating it in response to the culture of professional accountability and rigorous student learning standards. I appreciate particularly their application of coaching techniques to calibrating conversations, to help teachers internalize standards of practice, incorporating teachers' own self-assessment into reflective conversations. This enables teachers themselves to drive the aspiration towards higher levels of teaching practice. The third edition, like its predecessors, is a major contribution to the field. -- Charlotte Danielson, The Danielson Group Just when I thought I knew something about coaching, I read this book and my knowledge and my work was enlightened! Art and Bob are masterful coaches and, in this book they offer great clarity about the why, what, and how of coaching practices. The book combines the practical with the theoretical in an easy to read manner. I look forward to facilitating a book study on this one. It should foster new meanings for leaders in our schools. -- Bena Kallick, co-founder and co-director, Institute for Habits of Mind Bob and Art are national treasures for public education and their latest work will not disappoint. If improving the performance of individuals and school systems is your goal, then the protocols and resources in this book are essential for working with adult learners. A foundational resource for working with teachers, principals, and school district-level leaders must be the 3rd edition of Cognitive Coaching: Developing Self-Directed Leaders and Learners by Costa and Garmston! -- Gary Whiteley, EdD, director, The Alaska Administrator Coaching Project They've done it again!
