This week, we bring you some “water cooler talk” with Roxy Thompson, lead instructional technology coach for Peoria Unified School District. With over 13 years of experience in education, Roxy shares how she amplifies her coaching impact across 44 schools and fosters a culture of blended learning.

Roxy discusses the creation of “TechItUp,” a professional development program that empowers instructional leaders through digital badges and friendly competition. She explains how collaboration with other coaches has led to more engaged teachers and dynamic classrooms.

We also hear about Roxy’s work on Arizona’s AI guidance for schools, where she provides insights on approaching AI with ethics and a focus on powerful teaching and learning. Finally, Roxy introduces the Arizona EdTech Coaches Community, an initiative aimed at supporting coaches across the state.
