[convertkit form=878780]38 min - How to Onboard New Teachers into Your District During a Global PandemicAre you looking forward to a new school year but it is just too early to bring new teachers into the building for training? Learn how to make the best PD decisions today!In this episode of “Ask the Tech Coach,” Jeff and Susan discuss a variety of ways that school districts can be successful onboarding new teachers before the school gets started!Whether it is physical or virtual, introduce yourself as the coach/trainer via video and send it out prior so they have a name, face, and voice to put together to make them feel more at ease.Physical Training
- Acknowledge the various levels of background knowledge of the teachers coming in.
- Think about a self-paced checklist for them to complete where you are not lecturing but having them complete a checklist for proof of knowledge and you are available to answer questions. We call ours “Getting to Know Tech at CASS” - SAMPLE
- SAMPLE of a Technology Orientation Page
Virtual Training- The checklist idea from physical training can definitely be incorporated here.
- Utilize video. Get yourself an online video presence. Training does not always have to be synchronous. All of those questions you get all of the time, make them into quick tutorial videos for your teachers to access anywhere/anytime.

[convertkit form=878780]23 min - How To Run A Successful Virtual Bootcamp As Summer Professional DevelopmentIn this episode of “Ask the Tech Coach,” Jeff and Susan talk about what summer PD and the summer conference training season will look like as we move forward in planning for a new school year and training teachers.5 Strategies for Running a Successful Professional Development BootcampA lot of what we have been doing in our classrooms over the recent weeks is going to hold over into summer professional development and conference planning as we work to train veteran teachers and newly hired teachers in virtual teaching strategies that can be successfully blended easily into a face to face classroom.
- Relevancy - How do I determine what my teachers need? Have a vision of what the trainings should accomplish and for whom.
- Flexibility - What are the advantages of running online trainings?
- Anytime, Anywhere
- Differentiated for the teacher giving them choice
- Can be Self-Paced
- Teach the idea of Flipped Learning by structuring PD this way
- Getting Cute with Professional Development
- Global Collaboration -
- Virtual bootcamp style PD sessions allows for you to bring more teachers together especially if you are covering an entire school district. Many times coaches have to go from school to school and present the same training. Virtual allows you to bring those teachers together and create connections and encourage collaboration across the school system.
Other Ideas:- Create your own PD online or vet what already exists and curate it for your teachers using YouTube Playlists, Wakelet, etc., etc.
- Twitter Chats for your teachers
- FB Groups for your school or district to provide training materials/resources
- If you are presenting online “synchronously” have a moderator to help monitor the chat
