A Listening, Learning, Coaching Club for Coach Educators
4:00 PM – 5:30 PM

Dr. Jorge Alvarez
Join CTI’s professional learning community where we 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.
We’re kicking off the season with Bright Morning’s 5-part podcast series featuring Elena Aguilar on How to Coach Beliefs—unpacking the mindsets that shape teaching and drive student-centered learning.
Much like a book club, this space invites you to listen on your own, then join rich conversations with colleagues. Together, we’ll explore Elena Aguilar’s powerful framework on Coaching Beliefs, part of her groundbreaking work in transforming behaviors through mindset shifts. Each session will focus on the often invisible beliefs that shape teaching practices and student outcomes—and how we as educators can compassionately and effectively coach change.
