The Edtech Coaching Primer:

Supporting Teachers in the Digital Age Classroom

"Quality edtech coaching is sorely needed in most schools but is often incorrectly framed by administrators, infrequently utilized by teachers, and ineffectively enacted by the educators in the edtech coach role. I should know: I was one of those coaches. Like a good coach, this book helps all of the stakeholders see the need for the role, select the path that’s best for all parties, and guides the team on that journey. Ashley McBride has expertly tapped into her extensive experience to develop a wealth of guidelines, strategies, processes, roadmaps, and resources that are certain to make your edtech coaching journey a successful one." - Jake Miller, Author and Podcast host, Educational Duct Tape
