After reading the chapters, what actions and steps will your teachers, administrators, and other education professionals take to ensure the eCoach(es) have the knowledge, skills, dispositions, and time needed to carry out important roles and responsibilities?After reading the chapters, compare and contrast your existing approaches to professional development with the one described throughout the book. Based on that analysis, describe the changes you and your colleagues need to make to carry out the four connected, coordinated components included in the eCoaching continuum—studying, observing, one- on-one real-time coaching, and group coaching—and specific content or pedagogy, including social, emotional, and behavioral domains. When describing necessary changes, be sure to include the following:Priority areas for changeSpecific steps and actions for achieving changeResources (e.g., technology, time, budget, expertise, support) needed for achieving changeTime frames and targets for achieving changeIndividuals responsible for actions and stepsCriteria for success
