What's a Tech Coach?
- co-teach lessons using technology programs (like Excel, Edulastic, etc).
- co-teach lessons about technology skills (like digital citizenship, cyber-bullying, etc).
- help your PLC team gather and examine data.
- help your team find and use tech resources for various standards.
- show you how to use new programs purchased by the school and/or RCS.
- present technology resources or tools at parent night events.
While I'm the first line of contact if something isn't working, my primary duty is to be an instructional resource to our faculty, students, and parents.
