Have they heard of the SAMR Model? If so, how have they used it to plan integration in their own classroom? I also like to ask them "What do you want your students to do with technology?" using Bill Ferriter's idea as a guide (http://www.flickr.com/photos/plugusin/9223386478/).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1155253215417563291.post-21777345388629163202014-01-10T08:16:01.033-06:002014-01-10T08:16:01.033-06:00I was fortunate enough to sit in on the interview ...I was fortunate enough to sit in on the interview process for our school's ELA department. Since I would be working closely with whomever they hired, I had a few questions myself about specific teaching styles and curriculum ideas that I was concerned with. I made it a point to submit them to the SBC--- who was conducting the interview. I also think it is important to ask a teacher why they are drawn to your particular district or area. We live in a really remote place and I find it interesting to see what draws teachers to our school. It also helps us determine longevity when we interview, which ultimately is great for any school. Turnover always makes things hard and it takes a toll on your students! <br />Good luck! I hope you find the candidate you need and that you enjoy the interview process.

Almost every single district asks, "In your opinion, what makes an outstanding teacher?" I imagine this is asked often because the answers are pretty revealing.
