Catherine Giddens with the SC Department of Education shared the resources and management methods for running an instructional technology coach program across the state funded with E2T2 and ARRA monies. Attendees learned about free Peer Coaching materials available online at :
http://anon.us.innovativeteachers.us/Pages/Welcome.aspx
(create an account for yourself if necessary) and log in, you will see a "Peer Coaching" tab at the top of the page. The item in the drop down for "About Peer Coaching" brings you some background information on coaching. If you click on "Coaching Sessions" link, you will find all of the content of the Peer Coaching training.
Attendees were asked to contact Catherine if they wish to have a coaching program started at their school or district and she will help coordinate facilitator training with the Peer Coaching organization, Puget Sound Learning Center.
Please post questions here, or to request to be put on contact list about future peer coaching developments.
