Technology Coaching that Meets Teachers Where They Are

Teachers are balancing more responsibilities than ever, and technology integration can easily feel like one more burden. This session explores realistic coaching approaches that respect teachers' time, experience levels and classroom needs. You will examine how to create asynchronous support resources, facilitate low-pressure professional development, build relationships through coaching conversations, and design support systems that encourage sustainable technology adoption. Designed for technology coaches, the session offers new methods for connecting with busy teachers and sharing information in ways that actually stick. You will leave with starting points for experimenting with resource creation platforms, ideas for engaging yearlong technology initiatives, and practical coaching hacks for removing the barriers that keep teachers from connecting. Most importantly, you will be ready to adapt these ideas and techniques to your own coaching context so the support you offer meets teachers exactly where they are.
