U-Rating Hearing--Statements by Administrators

Statement by Principal P (barely audible)

As Principal of I.S. 666 I gave Ms. Moriah an unsatisfactory rating because of her:

Lack of lesson planning
Ineffective delivery of lessons
Lack of engaging students
Lack of differentiation to individual needs
Lack of adapting to individual needs


Statement by Assistant Principle Z

During the observation process: preobservation, observation, and postobservation Ms. Moriah has on several occasions not been able to produce lesson plans. She stated to me that they are unnecessary for her. She has been teaching for many years. Therefore, she does not need a written lesson plan. I was asked to meet with her on a weekly basis to review her lesson plans. She did meet with me, and during those weekly meetings, she stated that she herself did not need a copy, Therefore acknowledging that lesson plans were for administrative purposes only and not for her use in class.

Assistant Principle X

It is my supervisory judgement that Ms. Moriah should receive an unsatisfactory rating for the following reasons:

1. Lesson planning. I went into her classroom and asked her for her lesson plan and she did not have one. And she told me she would give it to me the next period.

2. I observed an unsatisfactory lesson.
