  Case: Your principal does not like your teaching style
You are in your second year of teaching in a rural, isolated elementary school. Even though you feel as though you are doing an excellent job using the latest cutting-edge pedagogical methods, you sense that your principal does not like your teaching style even though he has not said so. At the end of the school year, you receive a letter from the district saying that your contract will not be renewed. Is this legal? Why or why not?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would schedule a meeting with the principal just to confirm what it is exactly he does not like about my teaching style. I would approach the situation open minded and ask for his advice on what changes I could have made to meet his standards. I would not have waited until I was let go to address my concerns. The first thing I would have done after I was let go would be to contact my union rep.
