I was stalked by a former principal for a school year in order to punish the union. The union president even told me this (teaching) is what he thought I ought to be doing, just not there... the principal was just too good at professional assassination.
I'm tired of teaching. I'm tired of my inner critic and anxiety. I loved my new job for the past 3.5 years, but this current administration is a negative one. I feel devalued and they haven't even targeted me specifically because they don't give any attention to my department which is not a state testing subject.
How can I prop myself up without feedback? I feel alone. I have students who express appreciation. I have parents of students who do too. I have old reviews from our former principal who was a great instructional leader. Our current principal is no instructional leader.
I think I might need a new job, but I need letters of rec and I've been trying to get the former principal to do it. My department head straight up told me she interviewed for other positions and didn't get a letter in time. I know my old principal is busy and my new one is not supportive.
My inner critic is raging.
