Kerry Arens I, too, love the idea of cognitive coaching and helping to build self-awareness in our teachers through conversation. I keep returning to the Jim Knight idea that the teacher and the situation often dictate the style of coaching he and his staff used. Sometimes, he approached the coaching situation as a peer, encouraging the teacher to reflect through questioning. Other times, he approached the situation as an expert, suggesting immediate actions to strengthen the experience for the students and the teacher. As I work with a variety of teachers, who have varied experiences and strengths, I find that my approach shifts from situation to situation.
