I currently work at a 4A school in Central Oklahoma and I have a few questions I want to ask you guys. I want to make sure I’m not being over dramatic.
1. How frequent does admin come to your classroom.
2. How much do they nit pick on things like objectives being on the board, submitting lesson plans, etc.
3. How harsh are they on your evals/walkthroughs?
II have someone from admin in my room atleast once a week. They will come in during the last 10 minutes of class and give you negative marks if what you are talking about doesn’t align with your objectives on the board. An example was I was giving a test on a Friday and the kids finished, so we were looking at home prices in different areas of the state. I teach senior personal finance but the unit I was on was about housing. If you want to show a video you have to send it in for approval and justify how it benefits your students. They take the whole teaching bell to bell thing to heart here. I’m no teacher of the year, but I’m not the guy who watches film at the desk while the kids screw around. I work pretty hard in the class, but I feel like this is ridiculous. I’ve just about ran out of patience with the admin here. It isn’t a me problem, they do this with everyone.
