🎸 Rockstar Recognition

Name: Evan Mosier

Position: Technology Innovator 

Building/District: Garfield Elementary, Sudlow Middle School, Williams Middle School (Davenport Community School District)

Years Served: Current Position (8) Years in the district (14) - I was a Middle School Language Arts Teacher prior to this new position

Favorite Tech Moment: Anytime that I can see students connecting with the curriculum and using their creativity to be proud of what they've created is a wonderful moment. I've been able to assist many teachers to become more comfortable with using technology, but the most rewarding part of my current position is assisting students to accomplish that "aha" moment, while using technology.

Favorite Quote: My biggest tip for other educators is to build relationships and practice patience. Whether it's in the classroom or in my current position working with teachers, students, and admin, patience and relationships have been the keys to building long-term success and trust both in the classroom and as a tech coach. When we can be trusted and can all work together, incredible things can happen!
