but try not to be nervous. He probably was unsuccessful as
a teacher himself so now tries to criticize others. This is
what I have noticed in my district. The administrators who
were great teachers are great administrators and really
support their teaching staff. The administrators who were
horrible teachers are still horrible, but now as
administrators. Of course there can be exceptions, but
thoughout the years at my school, this is the pattern I have
noticed. When he criticizes, you can always ask him for
specific examples of what he would have done instead or how
he would go about resolving the problem. With ten years
experience and positive evaluations, you shouldn't be too
worried.
