Why do ABE Programs need Technology Coordinator Coaches to work with teachers?

Technology touches almost every part of our lives including education, job training, and better employment opportunities. For students to reach their full potential as family members, productive workers, and citizens they need digital literacy skills.

The definition of digital literacy that WIOA uses is: "(WIOA) supports the use of technology for the improvement of teaching, learning, professional development, productivity, and system efficiencies".  

The goal of this TCCP pilot is: 

  • Build the ability of technology coordinators [or a teacher filling this roll in your program]  to support digital literacy in the program
  • Coach teachers how to seamlessly integrate technology into their teaching practice  

 The purpose of this TCCP pilot is to build the capacity of technology coordinators to:

  • Develop their own skills to become a better technology instructional coaches in the program 
  • Develop their ability to support additional technology instructional coaches from the program to support other teacher’s technology integration
  • Enhance one teacher's knowledge, skills and abilities to integrate technology into their classroom lessons
