The Australian National Schools Network is facilitating an exciting national Project in conjunction with Education Queensland International and supported by the AGQTP.

A Professional Learning Day

Wednesday 16th September

Cognitive Coaching(SM) for Educational Leaders.

Cognitive Coaching(SM) was developed as a means to support teachers with their teaching. It is based upon the premise that teaching is a professional act and Coaches within schools support teachers to become more resourceful in their teaching. Many schools have employed coaches to work with their community and some education systems are employing coaches to support teachers to improve teaching and learning across their contexts.
