EDUT 5163 Transforming Schools-Equity Coaching
Transforming Schools Through Equity Coaching
Foundational to effective teaching is the belief that all children deserve an education that is welcoming, inclusive, and equitable. Teacher leaders, coaches, and administrators, are uniquely positioned to guide educators to examine the role biases play and to help modify teacher behaviors, beliefs, and ways of being to increase equity in classrooms. Through the study of Elena Aguilar’s Transformational Coaching model, you’ll learn practical strategies to help teachers reflect on their practice, understand themselves better, surface and shift their beliefs, and build new habits. You’ll learn coaching moves that attend to emotions and the building of trusting relationships that create the conditions for risk-taking. In this insightful course, you’ll walk away with the tools and skills you need to engage in emotionally complex conversations that serve to build a more just and equitable learning environment.
