  Case: Flexing your muscle...
In order to make sure that all teachers are involved in maintaining and building the morale of the school, the principal has mandated that each teacher sign up for extracurricular school activities duties as well as extracurricular development team and/or board that they must assign to. Many teachers complain that their time and energy is weighing thin due to the extreme expectancy of their dedication outside of school hours despite their own personal obligations. The principal then informs them that their inability to commit to these duties and development teams affect their end-of-the-year evaluations. If you were the teacher, what would you think?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I believe that the situation that the principal is putting the teachers in is very inappropriate. Putting in hours outside of the classroom is almost expected of a teacher, but this goes far beyond that, especially since it is mandated. Also, having this affect end-of-year evaluations is ridiculous. First, I would speak to my peers and determine if they feel the same way. If they do then I would schedule a meeting with the principal and address the problem. If this still does not work then I would speak to the county or school board about how the principal is behaving inappropriately and mandating extra time outside of regular hours that affect evaluations.

Comments: I agree with you that the principal is not handling this situation appropriately. A good principal would want to cultivate a good tone and morale with their staff members; however, it seems these mandated hours are doing the opposite. I would've suggested the same solution.
