Coaching enables me to develop relationships. Some of these relationships tend to be stronger than others. One of my 7th grade teachers, Caitlyn, is an amazing teacher whom I have learned so much from. I have watched her grow over the past two years. She is not afraid to use technology, even if she doesn't know what the end result will be. I have spent time being her sounding board, as well as helping her lesson plan, providing technology assistance, as well as problem solving.
My artifact below is an example of the coaching form I designed. It demonstrates a lesson I observed of Caitlyn in which she not only utilized the ThingLink tool, but she also taught her students how to use it. The lesson was successful. All students were engaged and collaborating on a vocabulary project. It is lessons like this that make me LOVE my job!
