One teacher has only been teaching for two years. She often has questions, and may ask you a question in the middle of instruction, but she is not the annoying one! The annoying one has been taught a little long, and has an answer for everything! She talks, and talks, and talks, and the grade level is getting fed up! She tries to one up everyone by having a better and more extravagant response. As my students would say, she's just "doing too much"! How should my grade level approach her, and not attack her?                 Submit a Possible Solution Please read response(s) below (if any) before posting your solution.                 Solution 1 Posted October 18, 2015 10:14 pm aQahan Reps: 77 Maybe try to designate one teacher who is also a veteran teacher to simply speak with her privately about how your team operates and functions. Maybe the new teacher is simply nervous or trying to impress everyone with their knowledge and doesn't realize the way in which their actions are coming across.

Perhaps she is simply outspoken. The grade chair reinforce meeting norms and keep the meetings moving along. If their is a time for feedback, it should be limited to a 1-2 minute response. No soapbox rants should be allowed. Additionally, the grade level chair should meet with her privately and professionally to make her aware that there are concerns about her commentary during the meeting.

She/he can be the one to facilitate or end discussion on topics to keep the team focused on planning.

The point is many people like that need boundries and rules. If she is doing it on purpose, have one person most likey the grade level head tell them that have been complatints and also make sure to give options like asking others what she can do better or that this is how some people teach. If this is on accidnet just telling them once might be enough to settle them down Votes: +0 / -0 This Solution Is Useful   This Solution Is Not Useful   Comments posted for this solution Add a Comment                 Solution 5 Posted April 17, 2022 11:38 pm uVeneH Reps: 204 Co-workers are going to have different personality traits. Some are good, some are not. You just have to learn to work around it.
