Getting ready to have my third observation on Monday. I’m considering getting ahead of the game and putting some feelers out for after this year what to do. I never imagined leaving teaching but it’s weighed on me lately.

I tried new grade levels last year but with a new principal, behaviors were rampant. This year, I went to a new district so new school who also got a new principal (whom was never principal in our state prior), whom I am hearing is trying to get rid of all “new teachers”.

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.
