Get this. . .
As you ALL know, I've been formally let go by my high school at the end of the school year. Yes, I have to act like nothing is wrong until June 23rd.
I go to my mailbox at the end of the day today and what do I find? A formal evaluation form to fill out. With it - attached a note from the Principal stated that "under the circumstances" I can forego the formal evaluation to be completed by him. HELL NO! I want him to come into my classroom! I showed Peter, my dept chair the note and Peter's response, "What do you have to lose?"
I just can't get over the fact that my Principal has never come into my classroom formally to observe me and made the decision to not renew my contract.
I don't claim to be the best teacher in the world - I'm a good teacher who is always looking for improvements and honest critique.
I've decided to have my principal do the formal evaluation. I have a few concerns regarding his professionalism and the evaluation.
I have a pre-conference meeting on Friday at 8:00 am and the formal observation takes place on Monday, 9:00-10:30 am. Should be interesting to see how this all plays out . . . . . . .

You go girl! Give 'em everything you've got & show him what a great teacher he's gonna miss next year!

Show him that M-Dawg style! That effer...he'll be sorry to let such a wonderful teacher go!
good for you! why should he get off easy? rub it in how great of a teacher you are, & what a big mistake he's making here.
you go get'em mdaaawg! :)
ABSOLUTELY make him sit there and watch you work with those kids and how they respond to you...
He wasn't trying to offer you a "pass" to make it easier for you, he did it to make it easier on HIMSELF. No chance buddy!
Give him H..E..double HOCKEY STICKS!!!
WE ALL LOVE YOU!!! STAND TALL!
You've got balls, girl! Way to make him sweat. It was a very good decision on your part to get the formal eval - just goes to show how you value your position and are always looking for constructive criticism...no matter what the circumstances. I'll be thinking of you - make sure to post the outcome.
