Reading PD- Coaching for Equity
Coaching for equity: Conversations that change practice (Aguilar, 2020
My current personal PD project reading tour of various coaching models continues with this review of the second book by Elena Aguilar that I have consumed this semester. If you want to read my thoughts about the first one, you can do that here.
Why I read it:
In my last piece in the series, I had mentioned that I actually started reading this book before quickly determining that I might be better served by going back to Aguilar’s first book on coaching, and giving that a read. Which I did. You can check out my thoughts about that one linked above. But having finished that book, I then came back through to this one, and gave it the turn that I had originally intended.
What’s in the book:
The book comes from Aguilar’s desire to explicitly connect her transformational coaching model to DEIJ work. That’s what this book does, and that’s what you get. The book is not as detailed a presentation of her coaching model as you will get in something like The Art of Coaching. That noted, there is still enough of that model in this book that you can probably get a pretty good idea of a lot of the foundational pieces if this is the only book of hers that you read.
