A2: What evidence do we have that tech impacts student learning? #etcoaches

journeysofjess Apr 25 @ 1:09 PM EDT

A2: This year, we have really grounded our coaching in efficacy data for programs. It's brought us a long way! #data #datanerd #ETCoaches

MrsMHenning - Moderator Apr 25 @ 1:10 PM EDT

So the obvious question.... What time is it there :) #ETCoaches?

In reply to @tarawaudby, @n9jack

lctigertech Apr 25 @ 1:10 PM EDT

A2: When you are included in curr and best practices convos. Ts/Admins ask how can tech help us diff/reach goal with our Ss? #ETCoaches

What type of data do you collect? Can you share samples? #etcoaches

In reply to @journeysofjess

In reply to @MrsMHenning, @n9jack

tarawaudby Apr 25 @ 1:11 PM EDT

Q3: What data and artifacts do you collect to showcase evidence of student growth and progress? #etcoaches

tarawaudby Apr 25 @ 1:12 PM EDT

If reports or anecdote say tech does not make a difference, what do we showcase to show it does? #etcoaches

In reply to @lctigertech

MrsMHenning - Moderator Apr 25 @ 1:12 PM EDT

So tonight's session at 8pm will be at 3am for you!!! #ETCoaches

In reply to @tarawaudby, @n9jack

A3: We use a Online Observation form during walkabouts. We track level of SAMR and the 21st Century Learning Skills. #ETCoaches

journeysofjess Apr 25 @ 1:13 PM EDT

We collect ALL the data. 1 big point is ST Math progress per hour - we were not making it but have done targeted intervention... #ETCoaches

In reply to @tarawaudby

lctigertech Apr 25 @ 1:13 PM EDT

A3: Trying a Teacher self assessment/survey of perceived St skills this year. Would love other ideas. #ETCoaches

journeysofjess Apr 25 @ 1:13 PM EDT

...and we've seen great improvements in getting to the progress per hour metric ST says we should have. #ETCoaches

In reply to @tarawaudby

tarawaudby Apr 25 @ 1:13 PM EDT

Yes #etcoaches

tarawaudby Apr 25 @ 1:16 PM EDT

Q4: What challenges do you face in measuring impact on student learning as a result of your coaching work? #etcoaches

journeysofjess Apr 25 @ 1:16 PM EDT

A3: We compare usage and mastery data from programs to student achievement data like MAP and PARCC. Again #datanerd #etcoaches #data

tarawaudby Apr 25 @ 1:17 PM EDT

Interesting. So tech linked directly to achievement on standardized tests? #etcoaches

In reply to @journeysofjess

journeysofjess Apr 25 @ 1:18 PM EDT

n9jack Apr 25 @ 1:18 PM EDT

A4: It is hard, because it is not always concrete. I see small shifts. Need help measuring! #ETCoaches

MrsMHenning - Moderator Apr 25 @ 1:19 PM EDT

I think self assessment is often the best judge! #ETCoaches

In reply to @lctigertech

tarawaudby Apr 25 @ 1:19 PM EDT

We've had same challenges. Lots of observational data, but harder for our ET coaches to measure than lit coaches. #etcoaches

In reply to @n9jack

tarawaudby Apr 25 @ 1:19 PM EDT

Small shifts are great. Maybe we need to redefine what data looks like? #etcoaches

In reply to @n9jack

EdTechCoaches - Moderator Apr 25 @ 1:20 PM EDT

Interested in hosting an #ETCoaches meeting at your local conference? Details available here https://t.co/vNz6qq3h6f

journeysofjess Apr 25 @ 1:20 PM EDT

Yes, when it's a content program. Ex - does iReady Reading increase your reading MAP score? It has been super interesting! #ETCoaches

In reply to @tarawaudby

tarawaudby Apr 25 @ 1:20 PM EDT

I am hearing more and more rhetoric against tech though, so how to we showcase impact & learning? #etcoaches

In reply to @MrsMHenning, @lctigertech

MrsMHenning - Moderator Apr 25 @ 1:21 PM EDT

A4 I need help too! It isn't concrete, you are right @n9jack An even bigger struggle for me is finding the time necessary!#ETCoaches

tarawaudby Apr 25 @ 1:22 PM EDT

Yes, time is issue. We are exploring how to find time for more showcasing and celebration. #etcoaches

In reply to @MrsMHenning, @n9jack

tarawaudby Apr 25 @ 1:23 PM EDT

Q5: In your coaching cycles, what strategies do you use to help teachers define student learning outcomes? #etcoaches

journeysofjess Apr 25 @ 1:24 PM EDT

What are you hearing? #curious #ETCoaches

In reply to @tarawaudby, @MrsMHenning, @lctigertech

gilmorega - Moderator Apr 25 @ 1:24 PM EDT

A4: Big challenge in considering growth as part of the process. Not all teachers are starting at the same place with tech #ETCoaches

tarawaudby Apr 25 @ 1:24 PM EDT

Yes, so growth data is essential. Are we measuring teacher growth or student growth? #etcoaches

In reply to @gilmorega

tarawaudby Apr 25 @ 1:25 PM EDT

Lots of rhetoric about impact on results, but I think due to low-level pedagoy #etcoaches

In reply to @journeysofjess, @MrsMHenning, @lctigertech

journeysofjess Apr 25 @ 1:26 PM EDT

Great question! #ETCoaches

In reply to @tarawaudby, @gilmorega

tarawaudby Apr 25 @ 1:26 PM EDT

Which is why I am interested in showcasing transformation of student learning. #etcoaches

In reply to @journeysofjess, @MrsMHenning, @lctigertech

MrsMHenning - Moderator Apr 25 @ 1:26 PM EDT

#ETCoaches - This is SO true! We as coaches need to always keep that in the back of our minds.

In reply to @gilmorega

gilmorega - Moderator Apr 25 @ 1:28 PM EDT

A5: Incorporating the 4Cs into outcomes--pushes the outcomes beyond recall level skills #ETCoaches

gilmorega - Moderator Apr 25 @ 1:36 PM EDT

A6: Open mindset, flexibility, risk-taking, collaboration #ETCoaches

MrsMHenning - Moderator Apr 25 @ 1:36 PM EDT

A6 #ETCoaches - I think if you are flexible and willing to step outside of your comfort zone - - good things will come.

tarawaudby Apr 25 @ 1:37 PM EDT

Do you work with volunteers only or is coaching mandated? #etcoaches

In reply to @gilmorega

tarawaudby Apr 25 @ 1:37 PM EDT

How do we create safe environments and time for risk-taking? #etcoaches

In reply to @MrsMHenning

gilmorega - Moderator Apr 25 @ 1:37 PM EDT

Work with volunteers. No "forced" coaching. #ETCoaches.

In reply to @tarawaudby

tarawaudby Apr 25 @ 1:38 PM EDT

Agree!!! Same with us, but have seen other models too. #etcoaches

In reply to @gilmorega

Q8: What questions do you have about student-centered coaching? #etcoaches

gilmorega - Moderator Apr 25 @ 1:45 PM EDT

A7: We are investigating instructional rounds as a way to focus conversations on student achievement. First attempts going well #ETCoaches

MrsMHenning - Moderator Apr 25 @ 1:46 PM EDT

A7a - I find a lot at @TeachersFirst. As an online tech coach, I find the free webinars, twitter chats, and blog the most helpful #ETcoaches

tarawaudby Apr 25 @ 1:46 PM EDT

Sounds great. So they observe learning in other classes and reflect on own classroom? #etcoaches

In reply to @gilmorega

gilmorega - Moderator Apr 25 @ 1:47 PM EDT

Yes, it has been a culture shift from one of teacher observation to student observation #ETCoaches

In reply to @tarawaudby

MrsMHenning - Moderator Apr 25 @ 1:47 PM EDT

A7b - ISTE PLNs help me. Specific tools that teachers usually will use are the ones that HELP them. You need to show the value. #ETcoaches

tarawaudby Apr 25 @ 1:49 PM EDT

Cool. Definitely where we need to move. Observing Ss learning. We wrote our LWs around student behaviors&convos. #etcoaches

In reply to @gilmorega

MrsMHenning - Moderator Apr 25 @ 1:49 PM EDT

A7b - some favorites @MobyMax @Seesaw @quizlet @todoist (I use the most), @AdobeSpark @GetKahoot @SkoolboAU and many others! #ETCoaches

MrsMHenning - Moderator Apr 25 @ 1:51 PM EDT

A8 - Student centered coaching is great. Make the kids the "tech-sperts" and then they can help to teach everyone else! #ETCoaches
