Teaching And Learning

Are you the kind of person who yawns through a conference schedule to automatically eliminate any program containing pedagogy, Eurocentric, praxis, emergent or hegemonic in the title? Does the word paradigm evoke images of Andy Rooney whining at the end of "60 Minutes" about having to learn new things all over again ("When will it stop shifting?"), just because somebody cooked up a fancy word for describing how we think? If this whole discussion about changing worldviews sends you packing for a couple of pills of super-strength Tylenol, then 'Shifting Paradigms' may not be for you. If, however, you are the perceptive sort who has become genuinely and increasingly frustrated with the fact that the old, "tried and true" ways of doing things just do not seem to work all that well anymore, then this book might just offer a means for understanding how and why a change in our thinking is a must for continuing survival today's world.

Coaching Approach

The teaching and learning enterprise require several inputs and a framework upon which the teacher’s practice and repertoires are put into action and one such input is cognitive coaching. It is important to note that schools that are known to be successful have a distinction and ability to enhance teaching practices, where teachers can collaborate among themselves in designing subject materials and other professional undertakings .Additionally, the ability to inform and critique each other in an honest way has a long lasting feature to ensure growth and improvement in the individual teacher and also in the ability to sustain an effective organization. This paper provides a platform upon which the construct of cognitive coaching can be examined. The paper embodies a critical analysis of chapters two, five and seven of Newell-McLymont (2015). In Chapter two, Collaboration in the classroom context is seen as a critical component in the teaching/learning environment, bringing benefits to both teachers and the students at their disposal. Collaboration has been proven to be the panacea for eliminating teacher isolation and encourages problem solving approaches. An analytic perspective on generating the cognitive coaching approach, while bearing in mind, the power of teacher networks, is the thrust of chapter five. Chapter seven in examining the cognitive approach through application presents several studies that looked at the environment and culture as essential consideration for collaborative learning. Given the benefits of cognitive coaching, the reviewers have sounded the call for this to be fully embraced especially during the COVID 19 period of crisis.
