LI teachers- ineffective and developing?

I was rated effective/highly effective in NYC and never received a developing or ineffective ever! now I"m in a LI school, and have had 4 observations with a mix of everything from ineffective to highly effective. overall, 3 of my observations average out to effective and 1 averaged out to developing.

Is it more typical on Long Island to get harsher write-ups for your lessons? It's pretty discouraging, and I feel like I am not in a position to argue back because I'm untenured.

I feel like my district is rough too! Writing up such nonsense IMO. I'm also untenured and can't say a thing. I feel like they are nit picking on LI as opposed to the city.

I think it depends on the district how common they give out developings and ineffectives. In my LI district, I know of both new and experienced teachers receiving developings. I would ask trusted colleagues if it's common to get below effectives in your district. Since you're in your first year I really wouldn't worry yet.

I would not be concerned if you have 3 effectives and 1 developing. During your next observations, try to focus on the areas that you did not receive high marks.
