"I started feeling afraid of where the conversation was going. There's a clear line between what a coach does and what a therapist does.

That's what therapists do."

"Khai, it sounds like you're clear on the impact, and that it's hard to live with it.

Re: Aguilar's epiphany about her coaching: "There had been times when I'd suggested that Khai do something new 0 and he'd done it poorly. I'd then questioned his will, cultural competence, or emotional intelligence, but what I realized was that I hadn't scaffolded his learning. I hadn't recognized his ZPD accurately, and I had released him to take action before being sure that he could independently do what I was suggesting he do."

"As you identify gaps, you'll get clearer on a teacher's ZPD which allows you to create a scaffolded learning sequence. Just as we do with children, we must design a gradual release of responsibility when coaching teachers to implement new skills, routines, and procedures."]]> 2020-12-09 14:27:52 UTC https://padlet.com/TLAgenda/xohcwqn18fsi4b8u/wish/1002251238 https://padlet.com/TLAgenda/xohcwqn18fsi4b8u/wish/1002262416 Expectations for good news - what are we doing / how are we naming this

What if parents provided feedback to teachers on how they perpetuated white supremacy or acted on unconscious bias? Or on the inclusivity and diversity in the curriculum? Or on the range of depiction of people of color in the curriculum? Or on how the strengths and beauty of a community were included, highlighted, and celebrated? What if we listened to parents talk about their own experiences as children in schools? What if we listened to parents' anger and sadness? What if we - all of us who work in or with schools - took collective responsibility for the crimes and transgressions of our educator-ancestors, even those with whom we disagree? What if we apologized and sought forgiveness on their behalf? While we may have deep disagreements with what some of these earlier educators did, we have chosen to work in institutions that closely resemble those earlier ones. We are part of systems that hurt people. How do we heal from that history?

She became the most resistant teacher I ever coached. She canceled every other coaching session, stormed out of meetings I led, and organized a campaign to get me fired. I think her teaching got worse during the time I coached her, as she got more entrenched in her inequitable practices, wanting to prove that I couldn't change her."

After another example: "These teachers were ineffective, but they had reason to avoid me - my intention was to humiliate them."

"As I acknowledged that my coaching was ineffective, I began coaching in different ways, with greater self-awareness, and from a different way of being. To do this, I had to explore my own anger, sadness, and fear - but I was more committed to serving kids than I was to coaching in a way that didn't work. My sense of purpose provided the courage I needed to reflect on my practices and make changes."

1. Compare their teacher to an animal - an opportunity to explore their feelings through symbolism. Other variations include comparing teachers to a weather pattern, a force of nature, a mythological creature, or another symbol.
2. What kind of things do people do that make you feel cared for? Follow up questions cover whether they felt cared for by their teacher and what they'd like the teacher to do more or less of to help them feel cared for.

"The black boys were routinely told that they were too aggressive, that they moved too fast, that they talked too loud, that they were dominating group projects and needed to give others a turn, that they weren't following the rules, and that they weren't focused.

In this conversation, we talked mostly about how racist beliefs shaped hwo we "manage" children and the kinds of relationships we built. In future conversations, we explored how racism influenced decisions about curriculum, instruction, and assessment, and relationships with parents.... (allowing me) to integrate discussion of race, identity markers, and racism into every conversation we had.

In many schools, data means only test scores, and test scores have been used to punish and humiliate children and teachers. Our definition of what constitutes meaningful data needs to expand, and we need to find ways to use it meaningfully. A Transformational Coach also needs to attend to the emotions that come up with looking at data... We need data to establish a baseline in the beginning, along the way so you can evaluate progress, and at the end to celebrate growth."

Variety of data gathered by Aguilar:
- parent surveys
- video - "one of the most powerful ways to help a teacher (or leader or coach) literally see themselves with more clarity"
- records of teacher-to-student interactions

In their book, Practice Perfect, Doug Lemov and his colleagues offer 42 rules for 'getting better at getting better.' Over and over, they remind readerst hat we might learn new behaviors, and we might want to enact them, but without practice and feedback on those efforts, we won't effectively implement those new behaviors. Most often, in a professional development session, 'teaches listen, reflect, discuss, and debate, but they do not practice' (Lemov, Woolway, & Yezzi, 2012 p. 8).

Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers is a brilliant exploratin of what it takes to be a master at something. Gladwell cites reserach on the 10,000 hours of practice it takes to become a master." 

However, Practice Perfect authors argue - "You can practice something incorrectly for 10,000 hours.. and you won't be a master at it. We need to practice doing things effectively, and to do that, we need someone to observe us practicing and to offer corrective feedback quickly, before we practice and internalize an ineffective skill."]]> 2020-12-10 16:49:29 UTC https://padlet.com/TLAgenda/xohcwqn18fsi4b8u/wish/1006933273 TLAgenda https://padlet.com/TLAgenda/xohcwqn18fsi4b8u/wish/1006981123

A Transformational Coach requires knowledge of many areas: of emotions; of race, racism, and identity; of systems and how to change them; and of teaching and education, among other areas.

"1. Normalize discussing race. Use the terms. Reference the ideas.
2. Find multiple entry points. Look for places where others will be somewhat willing to enter.
3. Be humble. You're also a work-in-progress. We're all on this journey together.
4. Know what you're talking about. Prepare, practice.
5. Be clear: offer sharp and clear definitions. Don't' throw around terms that someone else might now know. 
6. Make a distinction between blame and responsibility.
7. Be clear about purpose - Personal growth and meet student needs, help our world heal.
8. Build relationship. Build trust.
9. Invite, accept, and acknowledge emotions - your own and those of others.
10. Ask for feedback on any conversations you facilitate around race - and reflect.

"Shame is not an effective tool for transformation.

So, if someone feels like you're attacking their beliefs, they'll armor up to protect those beliefs - especially if the beliefs are tied up with their sense of self and identity. Our mind experiences a threat to identity just like a threat to our body. Our neurological and physiological response to perceived threat makes the belief get stronger and more entrenched. This is science; we can either fight it or work with it."]]> 2020-12-10 18:32:03 UTC https://padlet.com/TLAgenda/xohcwqn18fsi4b8u/wish/1007435824 TLAgenda https://padlet.com/TLAgenda/xohcwqn18fsi4b8u/wish/1007448852 "You can blame the amygdala for many problems we face. The amygdala is an ancient part of our brain structure that is always on alert for threats. The the first sign of danger, the amygdala triggers biochemical messages through our bodies, telling us to panic - to fight, freeze, or flee..."

"Here's where this gets interesting and relevant to coaching for equity: Our mind perceives a threat to our identity like it perceives a threat to our physical existence."]]> 2020-12-10 18:34:51 UTC https://padlet.com/TLAgenda/xohcwqn18fsi4b8u/wish/1007448852 TLAgenda https://padlet.com/TLAgenda/xohcwqn18fsi4b8u/wish/1007457096 "We can always learn how to de-escalate our neurological responses to our perception of danger - especially when that danger is a perception that we're being told we're not a good person. .. We can change our brains and form new neural pathways that lead us to different action, that allows us to have more productive and more powerful conversations about race and systemic oppression."

We all have multiple identities that make us feel like who we are. One identity most people hold is that of being a good person - that is called our moral identity.

As we go through life, we want others to see and acknowledge our multiple identities. If we feel like others aren't seeing us for who we are, we can feel threatened and stressed. We might get defensive, or fish for affirmations and center our own needs...
