How are you building your tech coach brand?

• How do I, as a coach, want to be known?
• What do I want to be known for or known as?
  • Am I the Google lady? Am I the Microsoft Guru? Am I the BreakoutEDU lady, etc., etc.? 
  
  
• What do your teachers or administrators say about you when you enter the room or get introduced at a staff meeting?
• Have a niche, know your staff (avatars as Jeff refers to) and what they need and what you can offer them.
• Make it about your “client” - the teachers you work with - find something that will make what they already are doing easier or more efficient.
•  Don’t be afraid to make connections with vendors for products that you use and promote as a tech coach to your teachers.
• Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there, it’s not bragging - It is letting people know how you can help and where they can go to find help.

Ways to build the brand?

• Tech Coach Website - What is on it?

  • Be intentional about having your teacher visit your site. Make it hub that you direct them to with personal follow later
  • Susan’s Example
  
  
• Blog
• Video Tutorials/YouTube Channel
  • Personal video vs. self-made general tutorial
  • Susan’s YouTube Channel Example
  
  
• Social Media
  • Use of private group to encourage all teachers in your building/district to share good things going on
  
  
• Newsletter, “Potty PD” or variation
