Tell the principal it depends on the situation:

If it’s whole group instruction, ideally he or she would see the students in their seats listening attentively while you’re discussing the topic, raising their hands to join the discussion when called for.

If it’s small group instruction, he/she would see you working with your small group while the other students worked quietly on independent seat work.

If it’s independent seat work, he/she would see the students working quietly while you walk through the classroom helping when necessary and checking for comprehension.
