How You'll Spend Your Time
On-Demand Learning Library: ~30-45 minutes each month
Each month you will receive access to four new asynchronous skill sessions led by Elena Aguilar (a total of 48 over the course of the year). The skill sessions are organized by an overarching monthly theme, providing timely support aligned with the cadence of the school year. Skill sessions are a combination of exclusive resources, direct instruction, reflection activities, and demonstrations. By engaging in this self-paced learning experience, you will be able to learn on your schedule, pace yourself, rewind when necessary, and meet your own unique learning needs.
Transformational Coach PLC: Two hours each month
You'll come together with a Bright Morning facilitator and a community of coaches and leaders to sharpen your practice through hands-on learning experiences such as coaching role plays and consultancies. Each month, the focus will shift in alignment with the Learning Library module topic.
Private Online Community: Varies
Throughout the course of your learning experience, you will have access to our private online community where you can discuss skill session topics, share resources, and provide and receive feedback and advice related to your coaching practice.
