So, You Want To Be An Instructional Coach?
Marriott - Marriott - Stadium
Instructional coach...what exactly does that title mean? What does an instructional coach actually do? What are expectations of the role? And, how does an instructional coach use educational technology with teachers and administrators in the building? In this session, we’ll be demystifying the role of the instructional coach and discussing our pathways to coaching current and pre-service teachers, what our typical day-to-day looks like, the importance of technology integration in our roles, and how we use educational technology to elevate teaching, learning, and curriculum design. We just can’t use edtech for edtech sake! We will also discuss the importance of knowing your "why" before you get started with edtech.
