Coaching To Support Teacher Technology Integration In Elementary Classrooms: A Multiple Case Study

The aim of this multiple case study was to investigate the influences of professional development coaching on three elementary school teachers' technology integration practices and their coaching ex-periences. We found that authentic coaching experiences, including modeling and hands-on activities, were considered supportive for teachers' technology integration. However, the teachers' positive per-ceptions of coaching did not directly translate into changes in their technology integration practices as the standardized testing-focused assessment system was the biggest hindrance. We recommend that more teachers' involvement in planning and reflection with transparent coach-teacher communication and consistent support for teachers' technology integration from school leaders are needed.(c) 2021 Elsevier Ltd.
