12 Rules of effective Instructional Technology Coaching

Instructional Technology Coaching (ITC) is a prevalent method of deploying on-going professional development for teachers, with a specific focus on the integration of technology into both the curriculum, as well as the method of instruction.

Typically, districts have technology offices or departments that then deploy coaches to individual schools and campuses on a scheduled, or as-needed basis. However, more and more schools are opting to have in-house ITCs, to better formulate and deliver on their tech integration programs. Technology coaches usually have a Masters in Education, and are seasoned teachers who have taken their passion for technology to the logical next step, and become specialist coaches for instructional technology.
