Join us for our upcoming workshops in February or March!


WHY YOU WANT TO ATTEND

If you want to see sustained changes in practice, your coaching must go below the surface of addressing behaviors (delivering instruction, analyzing data, etc.). Transformation requires taking a holistic approach and skillfully exploring someone’s beliefs and ways of being. This approach is what defines Transformational Coaching. Transformational Coaches also operate from two truths: that every conversation is an equity conversation, and if people are present, so are their emotions. 

If you want to begin your journey or grow your skills as a Transformational Coach, The Art of Coaching workshop is where you should begin. Based on Elena’s best-selling book, The Art of Coaching (2013), this blended learning experience takes you from knowledge building to effective implementation all while accommodating busy schedules.

📖 Move beyond the book: 

We cannot think or read our way to skillful practice. If you want to be a Transformational Coach what you need is straightforward: structured space to practice and receive feedback combined with expert modeling and a few prioritized tools. That is exactly what you’ll receive in this workshop. 

New and experienced coaches will gain clarity about Transformational Coaching and its potential to impact schools and organizations, all while growing confidence in their coaching abilities. Administrators will leave with new tools for leading the adults on their teams.

⬆️ More than skill building: 

This workshop also provides you with two critical resilience-boosters: space and community. First, the chance to slow down, reflect on your values, and remember what brought you into your role and this field. Then, the opportunity to learn in community, share wisdom, and form meaningful connections with coaches across the globe. You’ll leave with renewed energy, inspired to return to your school or organization to implement all that you have learned.

✨ New in 2023: 

Your workshop enrollment now also includes complimentary access to two Transformational Coaching Accelerator (TCA) sessions. These TCA sessions take place during the two months immediately following the workshop date and provide the time to ensure workshop learnings continue to translate into skillful practice.



WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

  • What makes Transformational Coaching uniquely powerful as a way to build emotional resilience in educators and interrupt inequitable practices 

  • The three components of a Transformational Coaching conversation and how to use multiple strategies and tools for each component

  • Your strengths and areas for growth as a coach and leader

  • How you can improve your coaching skills through scaffolded practice with other committed learners

HOW YOU’LL SPEND YOUR TIME 


Core workshop experience: The Art of Coaching:

  • Part 1: Asynchronous [4+ hours]

    • Your experience begins with a self-guided exploration of the foundations of Transformational Coaching. This is a combination of knowledge building and reflection that will help you clarify your vision for yourself as a Transformational Coach. 

    • Elena has curated 21 hours of learning for this stage. While all content is highly recommended, 4 hours of learning content has been identified as required.

  • Part 2: Self-Guided: Reflection [1 hour]

    • You'll synthesize your learning from Part 1 and prepare to share some of your reflections, takeaways, and questions in our virtual live session.

  • Part 3: Virtual Live [4 hours]

    • Next, you’ll come together with a Bright Morning facilitator and a community of coaches to process your learning, observe masterful coaching, engage in coaching role plays, and receive feedback to sharpen your practice.

    • This is a 4-hour virtual live experience with ~1 hour of pre-work.


Bonus learning experiences: Transformational Coaching Accelerators (TCAs):

  • TCA #1: Virtual Live [4 hours]: One month later you will reconvene for a targeted practice session. With a month of independent practice under your belt, you’re now ready to learn additional tools and refine your approach. These sessions also include everyone’s favorite activity—live coaching demonstrations. February's TCA theme is "Creating the Conditions for Learning." We will anchor our learning and growth in Elena Aguilar’s Transformational Coaching Rubric 2.0. From there, we will leverage tools like Mind the Gap and Principles of Adult Learning to most effectively create the conditions for individual and collective development.

  • TCA #2: Virtual Live [4 hours]: One month later you will reconvene for a final practice session. Two months have passed since your initial workshop and it’s time to fine-tune your approach and layer on a few more Transformational Coaching tools. And, of course, observe a few more coaching demonstrations! March's TCA theme is "Bringing the Play to Role Play," where we will engage in "start and stop" role-plays where you will build fluency in The Coaching Lenses and additional visualization coaching strategies to bring the play to role-play.

  • These are 4-hour virtual live experiences, divided in two 2-hour learning blocks. You may attend either or both sessions. No pre-work is required for these sessions.


WHO SHOULD ATTEND

  • New and experienced coaches, managers, teacher leaders, and mentors
  • Leaders who want to use coaching strategies to support and develop the adults on their teams
  • Educators in all positions who work in public, charter, and private schools
