During the past quarter century, conceptions of leadership have
evolved in concert with breakthrough discoveries in science and
generative learning. This book captures these new ideas through the
integration of the authors' earlier works in constructivist
leadership and leadership capacity. What emerges is a pathway
through which educators can become the primary designers of their
own learning and that of their students, thus creating sustainable
systems of high leadership capacity. This vision of leadership
reframes professional learning designs and knowledge creation,
describing how these ideas are richly manifested in local,
national, and international programs. The context is democratic
communities; the learning is constructivist; the leadership is
shared. The result is wise schools, organizations, and societies.
This book speaks to all adult learners who are engaged in
educational improvement.
Building on the authors' celebrated work in cognitive coaching,
this important book provides teachers, schools, and policy leaders
with the rationale and new direction for enhancing the development
of the intellectual capacity of educators, their performance and
ultimate effects on student learning. The authors focus on
assisting teachers in developing awareness in their own ability to
make effective judgments based on all their capabilities and
experiences. When teachers weave internal expertise and external
criteria together into the exquisite tapestry of teaching and
learning, they gain confidence in their ability to make a
difference for all students. Rather than spending time becoming
better inspectors and enforcers, Cognitive Capital calls for
skilful leaders to engage educators' thought processes which
promote practices that have high impacts on their students.
