DESCRIPTION

Do you coach teachers who cry a lot or are often overwhelmed? Or teachers who often experience strong emotions like frustration or fear and don't know how to navigate them? Perhaps you are a coach or a school leader who really wants to focus on instruction and curriculum and feels like emotions get in the way of doing so. Or perhaps you are a coach or leader who recognizes the value and wisdom of emotions, but you're not sure how to talk about them in a school setting. 

When it comes to emotions at work, people usually fall into one of two camps: they suppress them or are overtaken by them. Both responses to emotions can lead to toxic cultures and fail to create environments where everyone is able to show up, be seen, and thrive. 

There's a better way to respond to emotions. And in two days we can teach you how. 

This workshop will guide you in using a simple three-part framework to coach someone in understanding their emotions, processing them, and moving through them. You don't need to be a therapist or have an extensive tool set to coach around emotions, and this workshop will show you how to do that. In addition, you'll quickly see how coaching emotions can clear space for an educator to explore their practices and look at equity issues that might need attention. 

This workshop is designed and facilitated exclusively by Elena Aguilar
