Item Exploring Coaching for Powerful Technology Use in Education(Digital Promise, 2017) Ehsanipour, Tina; Gomez Zaccarelli, FlorenciaItem Fostering Powerful Use of Technology Through Instructional Coaching(Digital Promise, 2018) Bakhshaei, Mahsa; Hardy, Angela; Francisco, Aubrey; Noakes, Sierra; Fusco, JudiResearch findings suggest that instructional technology coaching may be a critical lever in closing the gap in the usage of technology, sometimes referred to as the digital use divide. In the 2017-2018 school year, we provided 50 schools in 20 school districts across five states, with a grant to support an onsite, full-time instructional technology coach (called a DLP coach). Our data shows that after one year of working with their DLP coach, teachers are using technology more frequently and in more powerful ways. DLP teachers report significant increases in using technology for both teaching content and pedagogy—in other words, teachers are using technology to support what they are teaching, as well as how they are teaching it.Item Scaling Up Classroom Coaching for Impactful Technology Use(Digital Promise, 2019-09-04) Bakhshaei, Mahsa; Hardy, Angela; Ravitz, Jason; Seylar, JohnResearch findings from the second year of the Dynamic Learning Project suggest that technology coaching leads to an increase in impactful use of technology in the classroom. In the 2018-19 school year, we worked with coaches in 100 schools across seven states, doubling in size from the pilot year. Our data shows that teachers who received coaching as part of the Dynamic Learning Project reported greater skills in leveraging technology in their teaching, which resulted in increased student engagement and learning.
