EVERY teacher brings unique life experience that we can draw upon. As an edtech coach you may encounter veteran educators who are hesitant. If they do not feel that you value what they bring to the table, they are less likely to embrace your message. Validate those you serve and offer strategies/tech that builds upon their unique experience.

Consider these questions for educators:
