I have had similar experiences with administration. I worked with trying to educate administration about ELL. Eventually I started treating observations as a game. I would teach my normal way, then once I knew who was going to observe me, I would go through old observations by that administrator and implement what they said.
I'm wondering if you are in middle school. It takes a special breed of teachers to work in middle school.
I agree with other replies. It might be a good idea to work with adults or even primary. You will find the right fit. Good luck.
Any thoughts about refugee homes?
you could teacher ESL to adults at a community center or community college. you can also teach ESL online to Chinese students: vipkid, itutorgroup, qkids, magicears, whales english
Also, think about why you got your degree in ESL. What is it that you like about it? Why isn't it working for you in the K-12 classroom?
Honestly it’s my classroom management. I also had some very difficult admins who constantly micromanaged me are extremely picky. No matter what I did it was never enough. I would sometimes get conflicting advice from admin and then get deducted for following another admins advice on an evaluation
