[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like the P and AP are on 2 different planets.  Not good.  In my district, in order for you to lose your license, you are put on a PIP (Performance Improvement Plan) and [b]the P has to do A LOT of legwork to get rid of you.[/b]  It happens occasionally but it means you are observed a lot and are assigned an instructional coach, etc.  Did any of this happen?  If not, is there a union you belong to?  [/quote]

This is what is wrong with teaching, and why bad teachers get to teach our kids.  Why should the principal have to do "A LOT" of leg work to get rid of ineffective teachers?  Also, if the principal is unhappy enough to recommend terminating her license in the district, why is she still in the classroom?  Basically, the principal is saying she is ineffective enough for him/her to say don't allow this teacher to teach in this district anymore, but let her current students be subjected to sub-par teaching for the rest of the year.  I'm sure OP is a nice person who is going through a difficult time, but there is a whole classroom of kids being subjected to her professional and personal struggles.  How is that fair to those kids?  I understand that the principal doesn't want to terminate OP mid-year, so why not keep her on in a capacity outside the classroom, which would be best for the kids and likely also for OP.  [/quote]

I was rated effective three years in a row with my own observations and student scores. I have shown demonstrated growth with students for years. My home room and subject class scored second highest growth within our school on multiple assessments this academic year. You are out of line.

You admitted you were having problems preparing lesson plans, I'm not out of line.[/quote]
