Eval expectations are bs

Maybe I need to vent or maybe I need to find a new job. I am an ELL teacher for grades 9-12 and let me tell you, I run a school in a school. I put in place specific targetted interventions to help students, meet with teachers to support their teaching, manage a para educator, attend meetings about what I do, run so many spreadsheets and examine so much data. I also communicate with families often using an interpretor, partner with admin, push into classes, and am expected to co-teach. They also want me to venture into PD, but I honestly don't want to. Regardless, I do a fucking lot. Well, I got evaluated last week and my evaluator has rated me profceint or distinguished in everything I do. Except the actual co-teaching that was thrown at me this year with a brand new teacher. Evaluator came, was unimpressed, rated me basic and told me to fix it. Communicate to the other teacher what I want you both to improve. Frustrated is one of the many ways I am feeling. I've been doing this 10 years now. I'm a good teacher and I know it. I explicitly told me evalutor what to expect, no issues or pushback, she comes and observes and doesn't like it. We meet and she says she wanted to see something more active, which I told her creates so many classroom managment problems. She doesn't care. Now I'm sitting here wondering what's even the point of doing everything else if in the end the one 40 minute lesson she watched is all that's going to matter. Someone tell me I'm not crazy for thinking this is absurd. submitted by /u/ElLoafe [link] [comments]
