Join CTI’s professional learning community—a space to explore big ideas, challenge assumptions, and engage in conversations that matter. Like a book club with a modern twist, we use podcasts as a springboard for reflection, collaboration, and real-world application.

Today we continue parts 3 and 4 of a 5-part series featuring Elena Aguilar on How to Coach Beliefs—unpacking the mindsets that shape teaching and drive student-centered learning. Together, we’ll explore Aguilar’s framework for coaching the often invisible beliefs that influence teaching practices and student outcomes—and how we as educators can compassionately and effectively coach change.
