Administrators: how do you see this situation?
I am a new teacher to my district (HS level). A teacher is out on leave and the suband I don't get along. I am a travelling position and am only there in the AM . The Replacement, when I am at my other school, complains about me to colleagues. She says untrue things about our interactions The talk gets back to the main Admin. She has brought situations to my attention. We evn met as a3some to no resolve. When I try to explain what has actually happened, I am viewed as having "attitude". So, I began "yessing" alot. I notice the other teachers excluding me from gift collections and events and am concerned about my job. She leaves in 3 days & the regular teacher returns. As an administrator, how can I change a false impression of my personaility to my Admin. I am excellent at what I teach. That I know, but I absolutely feel a difference in treatment. Is it too late to be seen for who I really am or are my teaching successes enough? I am very sincere and looking for advice.

Well, Im sorry to hear you are going through all this drama. However, i suspect a hint of jealousy among the other teachers. Since you are there for the kids then you should try to push this out of your mind because in any situation if you try to make yourself appear better to others you usually will always appear desperate for attention or worse. So take pride in your work, know that eventually things will pan out for you because you deserve it. Who knows, maybe fate has something planned for you through all this.

Don't stoop to her level. You are new there, everyone is watching you. Concentrate on your actual job, be nice to everyone and don't get into the gossiping.
Once you've settled in and everyone sees your behavior over a stretch of time it will get better for you.
As for feeling left out of gift exchanges and so forth, its probably only because your new. try being open to friendship - just talk to the other teachers when you see them. Ask how their day is going, how was their weekend, if you have extra time and can pitch in with grading papers or you know you are running to the school supply store ask if there's anything they might need, etc.
Once they start to get to know you, they will warm up to you.
