New Tech Network Coaching
The New Tech Network Report explains what NTN is, how it works, and the data behind the learning styles. Belleville New Tech is part of the New Tech Network. We are provided a NTN coach who provides professional development for staff, works with our students, and gives feedback on things that are going well and areas for improvement. Jose Garcia is BNT's NTN school coach. This year's focus is on professional collaboration with use of team contracts and agency.
