Are You Treating Your Tech Coaches Like Offensive Coordinators?

In this episode of “Ask the Tech Coach,” Jeff and Susan discuss how tech coaches can build relationships with admins, IT coordinators, etc. to effectively carry out district plans and initiatives. Why is it important to allow your Tech Coach to run the offense?
  • Tech Coaches help create your Tech Integration Plan
  • Tech Coaches are the ones in the classrooms building relationships with teachers and students
  • Tech Coaches are generally educators whereas Tech Directors may have an IT background
  • Tech Coaches not only know the applications but understand how to break it down for PD
  • Working together - “art of selling” - making each other (departments) look awesome
  • Communication is key!
  • Lead by example. Eventually, you gain trust and promote effective collaboration.
