What Our Community is Saying

"The Onward Book Club provided monthly care as I embarked on teaching and finding balance."

Carissa O.
What Our Community is Saying

"As an instructional coach being in a new building this year, I expected that I would be run down because of the work that comes with being in a new building. My job satisfaction has never been higher than this year. My job satisfaction, by in large, is so high because of the Onward book. Additionally, this book has been used in my building to bring teachers back from the brink of quitting. All people in education can benefit from reading and applying the practices from Onward."

What Our Community is Saying

"The Onward Book Club is helpful in having a community to explore ways to build in sustainable practices which lead to my resilience."

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."

Yvonne V.
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

"I invite you to live this experience. You will love the readings, and especially for me, the workbook. It has excellent exercises that will help you apply them in school and in your life. Even if I finish this course, I will read and reread this beautiful book. I recommend it. I love this book. It is a beautiful experience."

Rosa G.
What Our Community is Saying

"This workshop gave me strategies to sit in the reality of my situation and my feelings, but not be controlled by those things. It was so freeing to see my own emotions and experiences articulated so clearly by Elena- I truly felt seen and heard as an educator. Because of this experience, I also feel more qualified to build resilience in my coworkers and students."

Onward Book Club Virtual Learner
What Our Community is Saying

"This class taught me about Resilience. It invited me to really think about myself. The four components of resilience: who I am, how I am, what I do, and where I really am in this moment. I appreciated the challenging thoughts and questions. It gave me a lot to mull over."

My favorite part of being a Bright Morning member is participating in a supportive community dedicated to learning. I am enjoying the connections with professionals across the country in a variety of roles. We are able to be risk-takers together in role-plays, which help strengthen the new skills. I feel empowered and excited after every session. My colleagues have shared observations in my growth as a coach and facilitator. My membership has been an investment in myself professionally and personally.

My favorite part of being an All-Inclusive Bright Morning member is the opportunity to access so many workshops in community with others, and a bank of resources to work through alone. It has been rigorous and invigorating!

As an Instructional Coach, my Bright Morning membership helped me deepen my coaching skills and stay energized. My favorite part of being a Bright Morning member is getting to learn with amazing presenters and other coaches from all over the world. I especially love working with my peer coaches over multiple sessions - sharing our real-life experiences and things we've taken from these learning sessions has accelerated my growth as a coach so much. And I also really value that my membership allows me to schedule PD when it fits my ever-evolving schedule.

My favorite part of being a Bright Morning member is the access to the incredible resources associated with our membership. Bright Morning is already generous with the free tools they provide educators and, as a member, there’s even more access. Another favorite part of my membership is that the incredible trainers actually show us how to use the tools in Elena’s books for full impact. I’ve learned so much about myself and my work and have leveled up my skills as both a coach and trainer. This membership is the gift that keeps giving!
