Putting a Plan Into Action

By researching the effects of implementing a technology coaching model, it will address the issue of purposefully using technology and designing authentic learning experiences that will stick with students. We will use design sessions and feedback along with interviews and focus groups. I plan to have all elementary technology integrationists and their administration fill out a short answer survey to assess the impact of a coaching model on their campuses.

I will begin and end with the LoTi Digital Age Survey at thre specific campuses - one with a coach in place, one with a coach being implemented and one with no coach. I'd like to share this data with prinicipals in the 2022/2023 school year in order to implement a technology coaching model at all 30 elementary campuses. With this quantitative data, my hope is that the need will be even more apparent.

Because of my access to teachers across the district, collecting data and implementing a district-wide plan will be an attainable task. I will be heading into my second year in this coordinator position and have already had the opportunity to conduct one-on-one interviews, focus groups, campus visits, and conversations with campus administration regarding technology infusion needs. Becasue I have already taken actions to begin this work, this research will be incredibly authentic.
