Manage your email and don’t let it manage you and encourage teachers to do the same.
In working with teachers, encourage consistency when working with technology. Don’t let them get caught up in trying every new tech tool.  Find something that works for them and get good at it.

Learning Management Systems / Online Classroom - keep it categorized where students and their parents assisting them can easily find them. Use categories/topics in Google Classroom, Modules in Canvas, etc.


Remember you can’t be everywhere at one time and that’s ok, nor can you be all things as a tech coach to all teachers.  As a tech coach, you still are not expected to know everything about every piece of technology or tool out there.  Let the teachers know that you need a bit to research to be able to help them more efficiently.
