EP307 Creating conditions for transformation (with Elena Aguilar)

Published: Aug. 4, 2024, 4 p.m.

"Transformative change means feeling different, having different experiences every day, not just little changes that feel like a band-aid."

These are the words of today\u2019s guest, Elena Aguilar, an instructional coach whose latest book is called Arise: The Art of Transformation Coaching. (https://amzn.to/3Srseot) Through her book and our conversation today, you\u2019re invited to teach in a \u201chuman-centered, compassionate, wildly optimistic way.\u201d

Listen in as we discuss:

  • What \u201ctransformation\u201d looks like and how it applies to the work of classroom teachers
  • Why transformation results from addressing the Three Bs: beliefs, ways of being, and behavior\u2026
  • and why that order matters Which conditions allow for beliefs to change and how we can implement them in our classrooms
  • How our \u201cways of being\u201d as teachers tie to transformation

As we look toward the start of a new school year, I hope that Elena\u2019s thoughts will help you reimagine what\u2019s possible in your classroom, and create conditions for both student transformations and your own.
