A Taste of Coaching for Equity

In one day, you’ll gain “just enough” knowledge and skill to confidently have conversations that center equity. Perfect for anyone wanting to make every coaching conversation an equity conversation but doesn’t know where to start.

This 1-day workshop provides you with:

  • The essential knowledge to introduce the concept of equity to your team and coaching clients–the “what”
  • The foundational skills to center equity in every coaching conversation–the “how”  
  • The space to practice building relationships as you talk about identity and equity–so that you can internalize the skills

Building off of Elena Aguilar’s books, Arise: The Art of Transformational Coaching (2024) and Coaching for Equity (2020), you’ll receive additional tools and resources to help you make every conversation an equity conversation. This workshop builds skill and knowledge while also attending to the need to build resilience when coaching and leading for equity.

What Our Community is Saying

"I found A Taste of Coaching for Equity training to be valuable in providing me with more tools and resources to use in the work that I continue to do with educators. I appreciated the time to observe a conversation and then try it on in a small group break out room with others. The opportunity to collaborate with others was helpful in my continued growth as a coach. If you wanted to better understand how to improve your coaching through an equity lens where every child every day thrives and grows."

What Our Community is Saying

"As a brand new administrator and coach, no one can truly prepare you for what challenges you'll be faced with. After attending the Coaching for Equity workshop, I feel like I have the tools and support to take on some of those more challenging conversations in a way that is loving, supportive, and focused on doing what's right for students."

What Our Community is Saying

"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!"

Annie S.
What Our Community is Saying

"One of the richest impacts has been the web of understanding that’s building around our district as four of the curricular leaders participate in this same membership AND as more and more of our staff members participate in other trainings (Art of Coaching Teams, Coaching for Equity and/or Taste of Coaching for Equity). Having a common frame of reference and range of experiences has changed my learning into a richer, deeper, more powerful community learning experience."

Rebecca L.
What Our Community is Saying

"In my experience, Bright Morning has always provided relevant, applicable, 'just-in-time' tools that have enabled me to build my practice on solid ground. My Bright Morning Membership has been the silver lining of my year. This offer has paid off exponentially. All learning experiences have added a new layer of understanding for me. Now that I’ve experienced the benefits of a year-long membership, I really can’t imagine going back to a 'once-a-year professional development' approach."
