Hello Colleagues!
While Melissa is away enjoying the challenges of the best job in the world (being a mother) I have been empowered to serve you in her role until she returns in May. Steve and his team have assumed much of her logistical role and liberated me to be a true instructional coach. This is OUTSTANDING! So what does this mean to you…
I will be available daily to serve your instructional technology needs in a one on one, workshop style format during the time you choose (classroom… I’ll co-teach! or during lunch or prep... get creative!).
This can happen TWO WAYS:
- YOU INITIATE… You email me clayton_figi@ipsd.org with a period, concern, need, idea and I follow up with you to do my very best to be as efficient and effective as possible until you're satisfied.
- I ENGAGE… I will be cruising around the classrooms with laptops to get ideas on how technology is being used (then migrate to other classrooms) to observe how technology is being used and identify how we could use it more effectively. My journey will be shared for you to use as you see fit and my hope is that it will stimulate further growth! Rather than overload you with ideas, my goal is to demonstrate and problem solve ideas WITH you until you're satisfied.
What will I being Coaching?!
Short answer… anything you want me to related to using technology to make your role as a teacher more efficient or the lessons you create more enhanced learning experiences for your students. I am NOT an expert but I will problem-solve with you until I am useful to you.
- I can help you:
- with your website or digital classroom
- with collaborative lessons
- with quick formative assessments with BYOT
- teaching the triangle
- with graphics, visuals
- with blogs or social accounts to extend your classroom
- understand the GAFE (google stuff)
- and hopefully much more!...
DISCLAIMER: I will NOT use specific names or courses but I will share how we changed lessons, implemented technology, enhanced experiences and other resources that are instantly helpful to our colleagues and craft!
Follow the Journey!

Great communication Clayton. Neuqua is fortunate to have you during Melissa's leave. Sounds like you will be able to do some great work with the staff over there. Please let me know if I can support you in anyway.
