In this episode of “Ask the Tech Coach,” Jeff and Nick discuss the many hats that a Tech Coach wears during the day. It’s always important to remember that as a Tech Coach you represent not just the teaching staff, but the administrative direction of district policy as well.

In this episode, we discuss:

What do you do when your teachers … don’t get it

What if you say the wrong thing in the heat of the moment?
How do you recover from an unprofessional comment?
What do you do if you accidentally invent a new function or feature?


How can a tech coach provide direction when they aren’t in any type of power position?
