I met with HM for my yearly evaluation. It went well, and yet I feel really upset about it. He gave me some constructive crit. and it was well recieved and understoon (ie appearance--especially as a team leader next year). He commented how he is going to be rougher on me b/c I"m setting an example etc etc etc.
But what really gets me is this whole rewards thing--Joyce happened to be in there and she "explained" that this is the back bone of the check system--ie incentive. The contest thing also bothers me...Why? What purpose do they serve? I'm not competative and don't like fostering a competative atmosphere in my classroom.
So we have to do contests...OK...I'll just jump through hoops on that one. But the reward thing, I really feel strong about. Why must I reward kids for what they are SUPPOSED to be doing, how do I deny kids (and let them built resentment) if they didn't reach the magic number. I dont' know...maybe I'm supposed to just suck it up and do it again, jump through hoops and make them happy. It just doesn't feel right.
