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, \u003cem\u003eCognitive Capital\u003c\/em\u003e calls for skillful leaders to engage educators’ thought processes which promote practices that have high impacts on their students.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“The authors have positioned ‘cognitive capital’ at the center of understanding and developing teacher quality and have succeeded brilliantly.”\u003cbr\u003e—\u003cstrong\u003eMichael Fullan\u003c\/strong\u003e, professor emeritus, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto, author of \u003cem\u003eProfessional Capital: Transforming Teaching in Every School\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“In contrast to the persistent trend of simplifying teaching via reductive evaluation tools, Costa, Garmston, and Zimmerman dive fearlessly into its complexities.
