As the Technology & Innovation Coaches in WCSD's secondary buildings, we are grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with teachers.
Our Technology & Innovation's vision for all students is to "Engage the learner through innovative education experiences". This is possible by anchoring into our four values: Mindset, Empowered Learner, Technology Integration, & Reflection.
The possibilities are endless for our collaboration and we look forward to connecting with you to see what we can create together!
Hi! My name is Amanda DeGroote. I work in Waukee Community School District in Waukee, Iowa.
This is my 18th year in education. I have previously taught middle school exploratory Spanish and high school Spanish I-IV classes. In 2015, I transitioned out of the classroom to a middle school (6th & 7th grades) Instructional Coach.
I have always been passionate about technology and frequently found myself gravitating towards technology integration & innovative practices in the classroom.
In 2020, the WCSD Technology & Innovation team expanded. I was able to shift roles to support secondary buildings as a Technology & Innovation Leader for the district. I am passionate about making instruction engaging, creative, and accessible for all students. This has been my dream job and I am so lucky to get to learn each & every day while working with such amazing educators.
Please reach out to me if you have any questions or how we might be able to collaborate. I frequently share different ideas, resources, etc. on the platforms below as well.

Hello! I'm Erica, and I have been part of the Waukee Community School District since 2012, when I started as a Language Arts teacher at South Middle School. Over the years, my passion for education and technology has grown, leading me to take on new challenges and roles. In 2018, I transitioned to become the Instructional Coach at Waukee High School, where I worked closely with teachers to enhance instructional practices.
In 2024, I joined the Waukee CSD Technology & Innovation team as a Technology & Innovation Leader, focusing on secondary buildings, particularly grades 9-12. This role allows me to pursue my passion for integrating technology in education!
I'm always excited to explore new ideas and collaborate with fellow educators. If you have any questions or want to discuss potential projects, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
-Erica
