Pocahontas Area Community School | K-12 District
A Technology Coach assists staff with the effective use of technology in their environment in order to improve student learning. The focus should be on teaching pedagogy - the technology is the tool that helps you enhance student engagement and be more efficient at what you do. This can be accomplished when we collaborate with each other and work on what matters most to YOU, in YOUR classroom!
