  Case: Administrative Evaluation Understanding
I am a teacher in a Magnet School of the Arts. I work in the Fine Arts Department. My evaluating administrator often gives me a Needs Improvement rating on Knowledge of Content. I am extremely knowledgeable about the subject I teach, and could not disagree more with her. I have spoken to her several times to ask what I need to do in order to receive a proficient in this category, and she cannot give me a definite answer. She says something to the extent of "I don't know much about your subject, but there has to be more to it." I have spoken to my principal about the matter, and his response is no better. He also states that he "doesn't know much about it either, and he'll try to find one who does to help me." What should I do in this situation, and how do I get them to understand that I know what I'm doing. My students show significant gains each year on the SLO Assessments, but that does not seem to be enough.

Comments: While I understand where this solution is coming from, if these people are willing to dock points for this category despite not knowing anything about the material themselves, I can't picture these people being willing to attend these trainings.
