I worked at a school in Terrell Texas that took every planning period except for Fridays. Required us to stay after one day a week for a meeting, and required us to attend meeting during lunch. They also gave us deliberately negative reviews and put almost every teacher on a growth plan, sometimes more than one. This was for the purpose of driving experienced teachers with multi year contracts away and hiring cheaper teachers. It worked. Consider the purpose behind these observations and plan accordingly.
Why would they want to get rid of all new teachers? First of all, they are cheaper, and many think that a new teacher is just better because veteran teachers are just old, lazy, and set in their ways.
