Montclair High School teachers used several assessment tools where My
eCoach worked with DHS leaders to compile data that helped select mentors
for each department. Coaching includes on-site and online support for
department mentors: Internet research strategies, information literacy
skills, classroom management techniques, specific skill training, instructional
design, coaching strategies, and finding appropriate resources for projects.
Project was designed to build capacity by coaching the mentors to develop
a project-based learning activity using a variety of technology resources
and share and support colleagues in their departments. Partnerships
and collaborative projects will be encouraged. This was designed to
create a community of learners at Montclair High School.
