Also, check the language in your local union’s collective bargaining agreement. You can find this on your state’s Department of Education website. Direct links will also show up in a Google search. Collective bargaining agreements often contain specific language about academic freedom. Set up a meeting with your union rep and they will likely be able to tell you if you have a case.
None of this will make your admins any less hostile to best practices. If you are able, I urge you to actively look for another a job. These situations generally get worse and not better. Spend the year networking and looking for potential openings for next year. Your admins have absolved you of your responsibility to be an effective educator, and have thus granted you the time and energy to be an exemplary candidate for a better school. Hang in there!
