In this episode of “https://www.teachercast.net/episodes/ask-the-tech-coach/ (Ask the Tech Coach),” Jeff and Susan welcome our guests, Lindsay Simpson, and Amy Fusarelli as we discuss STEAM, Tech Coaching, and putting it all together as we collaborate with teachers to reach students.

In this episode, we discuss:STEM/STEAM Coaching How does it differ from other areas? “Where all of the content areas come to play!” Collaborative, don't make it a “drop off and leave” area. Teachers join in, coach/facilitator leads but all participate. This creates buy-in and leaves the teachers wanting more. Bringing items in from all of the content areas and showing teachers and students how it can all come together. Celebrate baby steps with various successes as you go. Look for willing participants. Look for ideas in everyday conversations with teachers and/or staff meetings. Let the ideas develop as colleagues talk with one another and realize ways that they can collaborate. Building A Culture of STEM Integrating STEM and Project-Based Learning that may already be happening in the classroom. Start small and bring the community together, partner with local businesses. Find opportunities to chat with teachers in whatever form that may look like and work for you building. Develop the relationship to find out what is going on in their classroom and what types of project ideas may work well for them. Budgeting For STEM Budget line for each planned project or area Think about consumables that would need to be replaced each year Building Capacity Start a video channel for step by step instructions for teachers to better understand tools and STEM concepts. Share with both teachers and have the availability of appropriate ones for the community. Create a website to feature projects and student work and teacher lesson plan sharing. Use podcasting as a way to reach your students/teachers.

Ask The Tech Coach: A Podcast For Instructional Technology Coaches and EdTech Specialists
In this episode of “ Ask the Tech Coach (https://www.teachercast.net/episodes/ask-the-tech-coach/) ,” Jeff takes a look at several reasons why it's important for our teachers to be involved in their professional learning decisions. For so many teachers, they are told when to show up for PD sessions and given not much else in terms of a vision or professional roadmap. Because of this, Professional Development for many is simply meaningless. However, once a vision and a school or districtwide roadmap are put in front of teachers, they can then begin to understand the value of their professional experiences and begin to formulate a reason to take part in their experiences into their classrooms to implement new learnings into their lessons. Today's episode is brought to you by the Tech Coach Mastermind Program.

Looking to delve into creating AR/VR content Claudio – creativity tools Adobe SPARK (https://spark.adobe.com/sp/) Susan – On my recent trip to FETC I focused on ways to curate resources and using visual thinking to encourage student engagement and enhance lesson planning. In recent years I’ve focused a lot on efficient use of GSuite tools and on Personalized Learning. What topics should Tech Coaches be teaching?Top 10 lists vs School Based Examples RFP’s that get you accepted every time and bring in a crowd Claudio – Time off from work – adds value to the district Susan – Efficiency, organization, and productivity. Often teachers get overwhelmed with all the apps available and even just simple clutter in their Google Drive. Showing them efficient and productive ways to handle this is huge. Keeping Professional Development alive in the district as the summer approaches When should you stop providing PD? Claudio – struggle is getting teachers there. No stipend or incentive makes it difficult to get teachers there Claudio – relevant & interactive. Keep teacher engaged. Susan – echo Claudios points. Keeping in alive and engaging. My coworker and I are looking at ways to take our summer PD as well as a lot of our regular PD online via Google Classroom and Canvas modules. How to build effective online professional development? Should we do online learning modules?Claudio – on demand seems to work. I participated in DitchSummit by Matt Miller & feedback I received was they can participate any time, in pajamas Susan – I have had huge success with my own tutorial videos. Yes, teachers can look up a youtube video for a question they might have, but if we as the coach make an engaging video to have on hand they, like students, appreciate our voice and delivery. Best Applications to useClaudio – Google Classroom, Teachable, YouTube, WordPress plugins Susan – Google Classroom, Canvas, Screencastify, YouTube Channel Keeping track of teacher learningClaudio – many online course tools have automatic tracking. Our district uses Eduphoria which is somewhat clunky. Looking at new resources in future. I believe some LMSs have built-in tracking. Susan – We are definitely exploring resources for tracking. The most reliable way that’s worked thus far in a former district I’ve worked is the use of Google form and the add-on Autocrat.

Ask The Tech Coach: A Podcast For Instructional Technology Coaches and EdTech Specialists
In this episode of “ Ask the Tech Coach (https://www.teachercast.net/episodes/ask-the-tech-coach/) ,” Jeff and Nick discuss why it’s important to start the school year off on the right foot. So many times, tech coaches want to jump in and impress their teachers with how much they know and how big their website is. In reality, this is the opposite. In order to have a successful start to the school year, it is important that you ask questions of your staff and get them to learn about your program and your intentions for working with them as a coach. It’s also important that you make yourself available to their needs as teachers. Do you have suggestions or tips for starting the school year off on the best foot? We would love to have you leave a comment or contact us to be a part of our Tech Coaching community.
