The First Month of Being a Tech Coach | Ask The Tech Coach Round Table
In this episode of \u201cAsk the Tech Coach,\u201d we welcome Kerry Gallagher, Sean Hackbarth, and\xa0Michael Krauszer on the program to discuss the many things that happen in the first month of being a Tech Coach.\xa0 For so many of us, the first month is filled with excitement but also misery when things don't go so well.\xa0 What is important is that we all learn how to get our first few staff encounters to be positive ones so that we have a fantastic program that is built on relationships and not just on tech.
Next week on the show, we will be doing a Tech Coach Q/A and would love to have your questions be apart of the group.\xa0 If you have any questions you would like to ask about Tech Coaching, please email us at feedback@teachercast.net.
