You Should Use the Curriculum. I have the highest scores in the entire school
Like the title says: I ended up getting my end of the year evaluation. I have taught for two years in math after graduating college (middle school 7/8th math) For my teacher evaluation my biggest critique to get my standard license was that I should use the district approved curriculum more and do more problems on the board with my students. This is valid advice but I had to bite my tounge to tell them across 5 grades (350 students) math, english, and science that I have the two highest proficiency rates (7/8th grade math) my students also prefer me teaching my own way because they somehow hate the school approved curriculum more then me.
Should I accept my schools advice and use what they think works or do what I know works?
Also for extra context I beleive in having students do 20-40 problems a class learning just by doing tons of work and practice where our curriculum beleives 40+ minutes of learning with 5-10 problems at the end.
Sorry if this was hard to read.
