The Tech TOSA
Before you take this job, consider the
following…
1
Your office becomes a closet.
2
Some principals will be
less than welcoming…
3
Ditto with some teachers…
4
There might be equity issues…
5
You might hear the words…
“But I use a Mac at hoooome!”
6
Or…
“That’s not how my teenager does it!”
7
Or, “I don’t know what I’m doing
wrong!”
8
Your after-school trainings
might be less-than-appreciated…
9
And your before-school trainings
even less…
10
And of course, there will
be funding issues.
11
Don’t expect the IT
department to be on the same plain.
12
You might experience
a re-definition of
“computer lab time”
13
But through it all,
stay enthusiastic!
