Hi, I’m RIshena Hicks.

I am a technology coach with nearly 20 years of experience in education. Throughout my career, I have worked as a classroom teacher, exceptional education teacher, and instructional coach in K-12 schools. Additionally, I have experience working in higher education as an admissions counselor and academic advisor. I am pursuing a master's degree in instructional technology to better support educators in integrating technology into their classrooms. I am excited to share my expertise with others and help them enhance their teaching practices through technology.

My Approach

As a technology coach, my approach to technology and professional development is focused on empowering educators to enhance learning with technology. I believe that technology has the power to transform the way students learn and teachers teach, but only if it is used thoughtfully and intentionally. 

Teach it

My approach to professional development is centered around your students. I don't just teach educators how to use specific tools or platforms; I collaborate with them to understand their students' unique needs and goals. Together, we explore how technology can best support these needs and goals, ensuring a truly student-centric learning environment. 

SUpport it

I firmly believe in the necessity of continuous professional development. Technology is a dynamic field, and it's crucial for educators to stay abreast of the latest trends and tools to remain effective. To this end, I provide comprehensive and ongoing support and training to educators, both individually and through group workshops and training sessions. My commitment to your professional growth is unwavering. .
