no

the technology coordinators meet with the new teachers during their orientation for a couple hours and follow up with 1-1 training.

no, but it should be. if anyone has questions that they ask during the interview process, then i would be happy to see them. we would like to start integrating these types of questions into the interview process.

no, but it definitely should be! again if anyone has information to offer, we would gladly look it over and attempt to integrate into our job description(s)/interview(s).
