This powerful book should be in the hands of every teacher. The clear message is that transformational coaching is strong professional development. While the book addresses coaching ideas, it also acts as a personal coach for every teacher who reads it.
Elena Aguilar shows us her commitment to equity and social justice. With her definition of equity being "Every child every day", she challenges teachers. She asks us to recognize and understand the gaps we may have when committing to equity in our classrooms. Do we need more knowledge, more skill, more time, or the will? She asks us to build emotional fortitude to close a gap in our teaching.
Transformational coaching with equity strives to transform individuals and the larger system.
This book is one of the best educational resources today. Do yourself a favor and don’t wait for your district, buy this book for yourself.

I've trained as a coach, I've taught for more than 30 years and I've read much and continue to read about coaching. I have to say Elena Aguilar is an amazing coach. I only know her from her books, her videos and her posts. But if I was going to hire a coach for a school, Elena and her team would top my list. Truely an inspiration.

Professional development through coaching is to enhance, support and develop your systems most valuable resource, TEACHERS.

The potential for excellence exists in your organization. Teachers and leaders often have untapped expertise. Coaching supports talent and expertise that already exists in your schools. It helps to build confidence in the staff's knowledge, strengths and skills. It helps to retain and solidify new learning. It challenges educators to dig deep when problem solving. It supports the continuous progress in building strong leadership, responsibility and engagement.

When teachers’ learning is targeted to their own skills, strengths and challenges, they can start to make adaptations to their practice. This can lead to real differences in outcomes and student learning. Coaching is strong professional development with strong impact in classrooms.

Choose Personal Coaching as Professional Development.

To improve my coaching skills, I am always looking for interesting new books or courses. I discovered an unusual place to learn.

Studying tango was one of the best learning experiences, I can recall. Tango is an amazing dance. Like they say, "It takes two to tango." In that twosome you learn to be present to another. You become aware of the dynamic of leading and following. I know as I learned to follow, on some level I was leading as well.

Coaching is very much like tango. A coach that is wise , follows her client and knows that the following is an amazing way to lead.
