How To Assess the Digital Learning Skills of your Staff Members
31:49 Share

In this episode of “Ask the Tech Coach),” Nick and Jeff look at the many ways that school districts can assess the technology skills of staff members. For many tech coaches, the collection of useable and actionable data is the basis for their entire programs. In this show, we look both at traditional surveys that tech coaches can use as well as nontraditional assessment methods for quickly identifying skillsets of individual staff members.

In this episode, we discuss:
