The Bright Morning Podcast with Elena Aguilar What if My Boss Doesn’t Get Coaching?: Episode 252
What if your admin doesn’t understand what coaching is—or worse, expects you to “fix” teachers?
In this episode, Elena shares how to proactively build a strong partnership with your site leader, even when expectations are unclear or misaligned. You’ll learn how to shift from confusion to clarity, reclaim your role, and set the stage for a thriving coaching year.
