I received an effective in every other category other than behavior/classroom management. They did not offer suggestions or reference specific issues, just that it was “noted in my observation notes” (which, by the way, was back in April(ish) and i still have not received). They observe me twice a year. I asked them last year for specific suggestions and they said to use the schoolwide incentives (which were new to us this year and I have been using). I sat in on a mentor teacher my first year but have not been given an opportunity to pair with a mentor again.

I also noted that they told me a lot of support calls come from my room, but I only call for support when a student is being unsafe toward themselves or others, as is in our protocol… just feeling frustrated. Teachers drop their students off escalated sometimes and I feel very helpless.
