NATICC Update - November
October was a very busy month for the Northern Arizona Technology Integration Coaching Consortium. On October 3rd, coaches that are part of cohort two attended session six of the Technology Peer Coach training, where we focused on coaching in practice and overcoming coaching roadblocks. The same session six training was repeated for cohort one coaches on October 4th and Tuba City coaches on October 26th. These session six trainings were very successful and helped coaches to gain a renewed energy about the technology peer coaching and learning communities that they are establishing in the schools. Session seven training is scheduled for either February 12th or 25th, depending on the coach cohort group. Principals have been invited to join their coaches at this session in order to plan and discuss ways to use the professional development standards in their school, in support of student academic achievement.
 
We would like to remind all involved parties that coaches are expected to be meeting with each of their 1-3 collaborating teachers for an average of 30 minutes each week. The work accomplished during these meeting times should be documented using the collaboration log provided to coaches, or some type of activity tracking log created by the coach.
The end of September also brought about the fall (pre) Technology Literacy Assessment for 5th, 8th, and some 9th grade students in all consortium districts. We assisted in preparing district proctors to set up and administer the assessment and in many cases helped schools and districts by setting up and proctoring the assessment ourselves. The spring (post) Technology Literacy Assessment is scheduled for April 21st-May 16th. This will be a very short time window and will require all consortium districts to be prepared.
We are currently working on collecting data relevant to the success of the grant as part of the fall grant monitoring process. This monitoring process is what the Arizona Department of Education and the Federal Government review when determining if grants are meeting their established goals and whether to continue to fund grants in future years.
