The purpose of this playground is to provide an opportunity for those who serve as Edtech Coaches to receive professional development on coaching strategies. As the role of a coach changes from school district to school district, many different models for the position exist. Additionally, the amount of support available for those in this role varies greatly. Typically, the one to give PD, the coach rarely has a chance to learn strategies for best practices in their position. Many coaches have come to this session in the past with a desire to better help their teachers, and have come away with strategies to do just that. Our objectives in this session are threefold:
*Provide an opportunity for coaches to learn more about the act of coaching
*Share new and innovative uses of technology
*Create a solution set for various coaching scenarios which coaches will be able to apply to their own settings
We will have four presentation stations, each with its own video meeting room. Each session will be limited to 20 minutes, with 5 minutes between sessions per station. Topics will include coaching models, strategies and tools that our mentor coaches have found successful, teaching during CoVid, as well as hands-on modeling of new and innovative practices. Participants will be free to engage in discussion with the mentor coaches throughout the designated presentation times.
