Senior Instructor, University SupervisorUniversity of Colorado Colorado Springs
Department of Leadership, Research, and Foundations
What skills stand out on Instructional Technology Coordinator resumes?
Dr. Margaret Scott Ph.D.: Some of the items I would expect to be included are experience designing and facilitating professional learning for educators, experience with leadership of others within the school, knowledge and facilitation of work with academic standards and assessment, and experience working with and providing feedback to colleagues.
What soft skills should all Instructional Technology Coordinators possess?
Dr. Margaret Scott Ph.D.: The instructional coach needs to have great people skills. Building trust and two-way respect are essential to a successful working relationship between the coach and educator. Also key is effective communication skills. The instructional coach must be a great listener, convey ideas clearly, and be willing to engage in conversations about instruction with the educators they support. They must also be able to craft good questions that provoke thought and reflection to help the educators they support become introspective. They need to be learners, constantly seeking out new ideas, research, and practices that we know to be effective with both students and adult learners. Effective instructional coaches also see themselves as partners with the educators they support.
What hard/technical skills are most important for Instructional Technology Coordinators?
Dr. Margaret Scott Ph.D.: The instructional coach will understand the curriculum, the materials, and the district expectations for an instructional coach and classroom teacher. They will need to be flexible with technology for communication, scheduling, and documenting professional learning and work with teachers. In addition, they will need to understand the available technology for teaching to coach others in its effective use. They need to know the most effective, high-impact instructional practices and model them for others. Additionally, they need to know how to engage in effective feedback conversations with others about planning, teaching, and effective use of data-both about teacher practice and student learning.
What skills will help Instructional Technology Coordinators earn the most?
Dr. Margaret Scott Ph.D.: In my experience, all of the skills mentioned previously will help them secure a position. Each district approaches the pay scale differently. Often, instructional coaches are paid on the teacher salary schedule but may receive an additional stipend. While the salary may not differ greatly from that of a teacher, it is seen as a beneficial experience to bridge the move from teaching to building leadership.
