Hampton District One

 Welcome to the IT Page
As the Instructional Technology Coach, my primary focus is to assist classroom teachers in successfully integrating the use of effective strategies and multiple technologies in order to differentiate and enhance student learning.  I facilitate district and school-based professional development, working with teachers (in teams or individually) to refine their knowledge and skills.  Training opportunities may include in-class coaching, peer observing, and/or modeling of technology integration strategies and multiple technologies; guiding teachers in looking at student work; developing lesson plans with teachers based on student needs; monitoring instructional effectiveness and progress using tools and strategies gained through professional development; and modeling the effective use of technology integration strategies and multiple technologies into curriculum and instructional practices across content areas.  I look forward to working with each school in the district.
