Being asked to attend meetings with no notice - union?

[Mabanta]

This unpleasant surprise happened to me: was in the middle of teaching, asked to go to room 44, did so obviously worrying, got told off, then had to go back and finish teaching my lesson.

I’m now worried every day I am in of this happening again. So - am I within my rights to refuse to attend any more meetings without union representation?

What did you get told off for? Teachers get pulled into SLT offices for a telling off now and again. That's not unheard of tbh. Not usually in the middle of a lesson mind you!

Unless what you did was very serious then this sounds like a complete power trip from whoever did this?

What did you get told off for?

I taught the wrong lesson in a sequence on scheme of work (honestly!)

That is totally out of line behaviour, flag this to the line manager of whoever told you off!

Good grief I thought you'd hit someone! That seems a bit of an overreaction.
Yeah go and have a word with your rep in advance. I would put something in writing as well about this incident and that it left you feeling worried and anxious. Who taught the class while you were out? How did they even know about the lesson?

Good lord...I'd be in 'room 44' most days if that's the kind of thing my school got in a tizz about 😱 Sometimes you just need to change things because they're not working! I'm in primary mind, so maybe it's different in secondary schools, I don't know...but still! Seems a ridiculous thing to pull someone out of a lesson about!! Definitely get union backing on this...feels like a slippery slope here!
