About Lewis Poché

I partner with school and district leaders to leverage educational technology purposefully and skillfully across their organizations. That's a plain English way of saying: I help leaders make sure their teachers actually know what they need to know and can do what they need to do when it comes to technology in classrooms. I learned early in my career that technology leadership is 10% software and 90% human support. As a former middle school math and science teacher, I watched firsthand how the right professional development could transform a skeptical teacher into a confident practitioner — and how the wrong kind left everyone frustrated and nothing changed. That insight has shaped everything I do. I've delivered 15+ conference presentations, 30+ professional development workshops, and 50+ webinars for educators and leaders across the country, including partnerships with organizations like the Louisiana Department of Education. I hold an M.Ed. from the University of Notre Dame and am currently conducting original research on student use of AI and AI policy in K-12 schools. My work sits at the intersection of instructional leadership, professional development design, and educational technology, with a particular focus on helping leaders build the organizational capacity to navigate AI thoughtfully. If you're a school or district leader trying to figure out how to move your teachers forward on technology — not just hand them tools and hope for the best — I'd love to connect.
