Got pulled into a meeting with Principal and HR. Principal starts of by saying "You did a solid job. Your lesson yesterday shows you are clearly capable of giving 110%." Then it all goes downhill from there.
Got pulled into a meeting with Principal and HR. Principal starts of by saying "You did a solid job. Your lesson yesterday shows you are clearly capable of giving 110%." Then it all goes downhill from there. Apparently a few weeks ago during an informal, I was "slacking off" and giving 90%. I asked for pointers and even asked about which specific lesson he observed. I just got generic comments like "It’s not down to one thing / students didn't seem engaged / it could have been more structured". So then I ask why nothing was said then. And since I've been at this school for 4 years, why this was never raised in the past. And I said if I truly not doing my job, my students would certainly have performed much worse on their AP exam, which is an external exam that I certainly can't fudge. Instead they are doing well above the national average. I was told that my informal wasn't necessarily bad, it just didn’t seem like I cared enough. So basically they said I was selfish and only upping my performance for the observation. At the end got put on a PIP because apparently if you do a bit better on formal observations, it means you're slacking off the rest of the year. Oh and for this PIP I have to produce weekly summaries of my lessons and write reflections. As if that isn't going to eat up a ton of time. submitted by /u/DrawingElectronic819 [link] [comments]
