@rodcarnill joining discussion from VA where I serve as a supervisor of ITRTs aka instructional technology coaches #ETCoaches

dlevesque Sep 27 @ 8:10 PM EDT

@rodcarnill joining discussion from VA where I serve as a supervisor of ITRTs aka instructional technology coaches #ETCoaches

dlevesque Sep 27 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A1 Inquire about support with standards and pedagogy (more of the later recently) #etcoaches

MrsMHenning - Moderator Sep 27 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A1 - #ETCoaches - mainly observation

KristinCHarr Sep 27 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A1: I try to keep the initial needs assessment simple, because Ts already have so much on their plate. Then discuss more F2F. #ETCoaches

dlevesque Sep 27 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@MrsMHenning agree suggestions of how to do this with 100s of classrooms? #ETCoaches

dlevesque Sep 27 @ 8:13 PM EDT

I would agree here. Currently getting a needs assessment in a survey format - gives minimal info. #ETCoaches https://t.co/v5WKGddqiG

KristinCHarr Sep 27 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A1: I try to keep the initial needs assessment simple, because Ts already have so much on their plate. Then discuss more F2F. #ETCoaches

rodcarnill Sep 27 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A1 ask first re: objectives, activities assessment and outcomes then look at tools to accomplish the task #ETCoaches

MrsMHenning - Moderator Sep 27 @ 8:15 PM EDT

@dlevesque #ETCoaches - need more coaches, which = more $$

dlevesque Sep 27 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A1b Do you collect info for a needs assessment in a class or school or district? #ETCoaches

dlevesque Sep 27 @ 8:16 PM EDT

Q2 How do you measure that your work has a direct impact on student learning? #etcoaches https://t.co/Vr3MNmnGJr

KristinCHarr Sep 27 @ 8:17 PM EDT

@dlevesque Usually by school. #ETCoaches

dlevesque Sep 27 @ 8:17 PM EDT

Q2b - If possible reference your role as classroom, school or district support #ETCoaches

dlevesque Sep 27 @ 8:18 PM EDT

@KristinCHarr How? District or state assessments? #ETCoaches

dlevesque Sep 27 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2 Our work is closely tied to reading & writing so we look at district and state assessments #etcoaches https://t.co/8x3ZhQU5P6

KristinCHarr Sep 27 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2: This is tough at the district level. We help teachers self-assess their level of tech integration on the TIM. #ETCoaches

dlevesque Sep 27 @ 8:19 PM EDT

@dlevesque TIM (Technology Integration Matrix) is our Tech Integration Model that Florida uses to assess each district. #ETCoaches

dlevesque Sep 27 @ 8:22 PM EDT

Q3 What characteristics of adult learning does your district model most? #ETCoaches https://t.co/cbzc4RmZup

rodcarnill Sep 27 @ 8:23 PM EDT

KristinCHarr Sep 27 @ 8:23 PM EDT

@rodcarnill Good idea #ETCoaches

dlevesque Sep 27 @ 8:24 PM EDT

Self assess - nice Reflection is essential #ETCoaches https://t.co/d6MV1kW4K6

dlevesque Sep 27 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A3 Collaboration - We are looking to move to a more self-directed model #ETCoaches

KristinCHarr Sep 27 @ 8:26 PM EDT

A3: I think making the PD relevant to each individual teacher's practice is modeled in each training. #ETCoaches

dlevesque Sep 27 @ 8:27 PM EDT

With a small group we are moving quickly. Let me know if you want me to slow the questions down. #ETCoaches

dlevesque Sep 27 @ 8:28 PM EDT

A3 Asynchronous - but having issues with giving credit for teachers without seat time. :-( #ETCoaches

dlevesque Sep 27 @ 8:28 PM EDT

Q4 Share a best practice for either teaching, learning or assessment that you use. #ETCoaches https://t.co/pHrioCHjj3

MrsMHenning - Moderator Sep 27 @ 8:28 PM EDT

A3 #ETCoaches - Individualized PD, as often as possible

MrsMHenning - Moderator Sep 27 @ 8:29 PM EDT

@KristinCHarr #ETCoaches - YES! Not always the easiest thing to do - - but SO worth it!

Q6 Which of the 3 are evaluated most often knowledge, pedagogical or student learning? Why? #etcoaches https://t.co/T8g23FL2rc

dlevesque Sep 27 @ 8:55 PM EDT

A6 Knowledge but we are moving strongly to student learning w/ our district/school work around PLCs #etcoaches

TaraLinney Sep 27 @ 8:56 PM EDT

A6: Student learning is evaluated most, because it allows one to see a variety of data points for clearer results #etcoaches

KristinCHarr Sep 27 @ 8:56 PM EDT

A6: Pedagogical, we are working to change the role of the teacher...no more sage on the stage. #ETCoaches

TaylorHWilliams Sep 27 @ 8:57 PM EDT

#ETCoaches A6: We have PLCs in place for student learning/content, my role focuses within pedagogical with tech integration
