Supporting research

When professional development merely describes a skill to teachers, only 10 percent can transfer it to their practice; however, when teachers are coached through the awkward phase of implementation, 95 percent can transfer the skill (Bush, 1984; Truesdale, 2003). As such, we must meet teachers where they are at, coaching them in classrooms over time, providing support during the implementation process.
This approach has received positive feedback in sessions as well as in our book "The Complete Edtech Coach" organicedtech.com This approach was featured in a local news feature: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iY1PN8PnXqg and on an webinar for the ISTE Edtech Coaches network.
