As a technology coach, being a professional learning facilitator means designing and delivering meaningful, ongoing professional development that supports educators in effectively integrating technology. You create learning opportunities that are relevant, hands-on, and aligned with both instructional goals and teacher needs. This can include workshops, coaching cycles, modeling lessons, or creating on-demand resources. You stay current with emerging tools and best practices and tailor learning experiences to different skill levels, content areas, and learning styles. By fostering a growth mindset and encouraging reflective practice, you help build teacher confidence and capacity to use technology in ways that enhance student learning.
