Coach Learning Library and PLC

"The [Learning Library] Skill Session, How to Introduce Yourself to New Clients, helps you understand the importance of being thoughtful and intentional about introducing yourself to your clients/colleagues. In addition, you will have access to an invaluable template with key questions to help clarify and guide your thinking."

"I highly recommend the Skill Session for crafting your own vision! The process and templates allowed me to develop a personal vision for what I do that is 100% authentic to who I am and will also serve to help keep myself accountable to that vision and my core values."

"The relevance and immediate actionability of this Skill Session to my work as an educator was incredible! Elena modeled an example of the skill in progress, gave us helpful tools to immediately apply what we'd learned, and provided useful insights to help us develop our practice in meaningful ways. Highly recommend!"

"Introducing yourself to clients first appears like an easy thing to do, but when you’re in a new role like being a coach, self-doubt can set in. This mini skill session offers small actionable steps a new coach can do to build that confidence."

"The Skill Session on Your First Observation had a transformative impact on my coaching practice, providing me with clear, practical strategies for conducting my first classroom observations with confidence. I gained tools to engage in meaningful, constructive conversations with teachers, which have already begun to enhance classroom dynamics and instructional outcomes. What made this session stand out was Elena Aguilar's deep expertise and the clarity with which she presented the material. The sample scripts and suggested dispositions offered multiple pathways for approaching teacher observations, making the content highly adaptable to different situations. The session was also interactive and allowed for real-time practice with scripts, which solidified my learning. I highly recommend this session to any instructional coach, whether new or experienced."

"I am an Assistant Principal and constantly trying to align my daily actions with who I want to be as a leader. I'm so thankful for Elena's Skill Sessions that are actionable, bite-sized, and aligned to vision and values. This is my heart work, and I'm so grateful for it."

"I feel like each time we have our course, I walk away empowered, inspired, and with more tools to try in my coaching role. I am grateful to have the support from amazing coaches in my class. I think just having lots of time to role play is so beneficial to our practice!"

"Having a learning cycle is a game changer! The combination of reading about a process, having a practical and usable tool, and seeing/hearing the skills demonstrated in a relatable way makes the information stick. The Bright Morning team has made PD accessible for every learning style and schedule need!"

It's like a "choose-your-own adventure" resource. Thank you to Elena and the Bright Morning team!"
