I was told at the beginning of the year that by listening to people complain, you can figure out their needs. I think this bit of advice has been the most useful as a new coach. I found this particularly true during the month of March, but really allowed myself to not get irritated by the complaints and to look deeper into what I can offer these teachers.
Lesson #2
Find a balance between figuring out what teachers need through their complaints and re-direction by bringing it all back to what we can do for the students.

Taking the Plunge
I have been wanting to start this blog all year as I have been learning numerous lessons as a digital learning coach for the Tustin Unified School District. I hope you learn along with me as I continue on this journey for another year.
Lesson #1: Forget Your Vision
Vision can be an asset when you are trying to move forward in life. However, while learning to integrate new technologies in education, we must forget what we already know. Of course best practices will always remain, but let yourself be open to the evolution of lesson design when you trouble shoot the integration of new technologies with your students.
