My roll as a coach is predominantly as the Technology Coach for the district. This position started back in 2007, when we began the // Classrooms for the Future // (CFF) initiative with PDE. We initially rolled out CFF at the High School (9-12) with 7 teachers and 5 carts, followed by an additional teacher and cart in 2008. In 2009, we were able to take advantage of an extension of that grant, Enhancing Education Through Technology (EETT) to include grades 5 and 6. As the district technology coach I now work with classes, teachers, staff, and technology in grades K-12.

An additional title I have added to my repertoire has been that of an Instructional Coach. Through the Penn Literacy Network (PLN) and the Pennsylvania Institute of Instructional Coaching (PIIC), I have been educated on the role of an Instructional Coach often called Literacy Coach.
