Technology, when used intentionally, can enhance instruction, increase engagement, and expand access to learning. For CTI coaches, supporting candidates with technology infusion means helping them choose tools that align with instructional goals and meet the diverse needs of their students.

In the CTI coaching model, the focus is not on the latest tech trend but on thoughtful integration that supports equity, creativity, and deeper learning. Coaches play a key role in helping candidates reflect on what tools are most effective, why they are being used, and how to evaluate their impact.

According to the CTI Coaching Standards, reflective coaches who support technology infusion:

• Help candidates align technology use with instructional purpose
• Encourage exploration of tools that support differentiation and engagement
• Model curiosity and a willingness to learn alongside the candidate
• Promote digital equity and accessibility for all learners

When technology is infused with intention and reflection, it becomes a powerful lever for innovation and meaningful learning.
