Join our community as we dive into Elena Aguilar’s book The Art of Coaching Teams: Building Resilient Communities That Transform Schools.
Description from Amazon:
The missing how-to manual for being an effective team leader
The Art of Coaching Teams is the manual you never received when you signed on to lead a team. Being a great teacher is one thing, but leading a team, or team development, is an entirely different dynamic. Your successes are public, but so are your failures―and there’s no specific rubric or curriculum to give you direction. Team development is an art form, and this book is your how-to guide to doing it effectively. You’ll learn the administrative tasks that keep your team on track, and you’ll gain access to a wealth of downloadable tools that simplify the “getting organized” process. Just as importantly, you’ll explore what it means to be the kind of leader that can bring people together to accomplish difficult tasks. You’ll find practical suggestions, tools, and clear instructions for the logistics of team development as well as for building trust, developing healthy communication, and managing conflict.
We will tackle this book and get together, virtually via Zoom, every two weeks to discuss sections of the book. Check out the schedule below which includes Chapters covered each session and Zoom links for registration. Sessions will happen at Noon Eastern on the dates shown below.
