Instruction Improves When Denver Teachers Dive Deep on Technology
Drea Aguirre; Luke Mund; Britney Hermosillo
Learning Professional, v45 n2 p32-35 2024
With the ever-expanding role of technology in schools, many teachers have participated in one-time, stand-alone workshops to learn how to use a new program, app, or other tool. While that may provide a helpful introduction to the basics and highlight inspirational examples of what the tool can do, it doesn't often translate into teachers applying the technology in valuable ways to improve student learning. That's why Denver (Colorado) Public Schools' educational technology team decided to shift from largescale workshops to more intensive coursework and coaching about technology integration. As a result of this shift, the authors are seeing measurable improvements in teachers' instructional practices and classroom environments.
