EP307 Creating conditions for transformation (with Elena Aguilar)

Angela Watson's Truth for Teachers

"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's 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're invited to teach in a "human-centered, compassionate, wildly optimistic way."

Listen in as we discuss:

  • What "transformation" 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…
  • and why that order matters Which conditions allow for beliefs to change and how we can implement them in our classrooms
  • How our "ways of being" as teachers tie to transformation

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