The principal asked to meet with me for a check-in which has never ever happened before and of course I won't get any sleep tonight. Meeting is tomorrow, and I have no idea what he might want to talk about. I've been teaching here for 3 years, no issues with any kids, that I know of! Do you know what I might need to prepare myself for?

He probably watched a webinar that said to check in on your teachers to be a good admin and he’s checking off that box.

So true!

Why not ask what the meeting is about in advance? Whenever I get called into a meeting, I always respond with "Sure. Can you tell me what this is in regards to?" That way I know how much sleep I should be losing haha

If the meeting goes in the direction of a reprimand stop and say that you want a representative to be with you. But, it might just be to tell you that you are doing a great job!!!

Please come back and tell us what happened

Don't panic! :) If there are no lingering issues with students, parents, or other coworkers, then don't lose sleep over it. Maybe they have a different position that they might want to offer you? Maybe there is a project they would like you to lead? You got this! Don't lose too much sleep tonight.

🤫 Secretly record the meeting. 🤐

I have done that before! Gives you peace of mind and I have been called down like that before. I swear it is to just put you in panic mode. Some meetings have been fine— other’s not. If I ever feel like the meeting is not going well, please stop it immediately and go get your union rep!!

I agree with all these comments! Seems most likely to be for something positive if there are no issues you can think of.

My principal texted me near the end of break to "check in". The first day back I ran into her in the break room and she wanted a hug. 😲 Kinda makes me paranoid.

Sure have, it feels the same as being called in as a student 😂

I wouldn't worry too much. A check-in doesn't sound bad. If it were something bad, they would most likely ask to speak to you right away. Have a relaxing sleep!

Honestly, I read a book on leadership and personally I feel a great leader should always give a person an idea so these types of human nature feelings don’t exist. Hope all goes well!

Let him talk, don’t respond to anything at the moment. If you need to respond to anything, summarize the meeting in writing and then respond.

How did it go? I hope well.
