Instructional Technology Resource Teacher
ITRTs are licensed educators and instructional innovators who partner with teachers to co-design and refine tech-enriched curriculum, facilitate job-embedded professional learning in instructional design and digital integration, advise administrators on technology planning, and advocate for digital learning across the school community. Serving as co-educators of students, coaches for teachers, resources for leaders, and community advocates, ITRTs empower all learners to develop the skills and mindset needed to succeed in an evolving digital society.
