For example, when paperwork is due, they don't complete it, but you do, and then your team goes around the school telling everyone you try to make them look bad and you think you "outshine" them. But really you are just doing your job...                 Submit a Possible Solution Please read response(s) below (if any) before posting your solution.                 Solution 1 Posted March 15, 2015 6:54 pm Morgan Jasper Reps: 100 Keep doing your job, and have a conversation with the team. If the team is not receptive, you may want to speak with administration to explain your frustrations. The admin. team may have more insight and be able to provide some options for fixing the situation.

Let them know exactly how you feel, and offer to help in any way you can. You could also offer to host collaborative meetings in your room, complete with snacks of course, and all of you could work on your paperwork together. Many hands make light the work!

If that is not possible, I would get someone from administration to intervene. Not one person wants to work in an uncomfortable environment. Someone has to make sure that they maintain a level of professionalism.

You keep doing everything you are doing and don't worry about what the other teachers are saying.   Posted on: March 14, 2015 7:50 pm Add a Comment                 Solution 5 Posted March 16, 2015 2:01 am J SJ Reps: 101 I am currently on a team of very unprofessional teachers. They don't do their duties, they don't respond to email, they talk during grade level meetings and onsight trainings. Basically, unless there is an administrator present, I can count on being a frustrated teammate. I suggest you keep performing as a professional and that you might make helpful suggestions to them. I mostly try to find my joy in teaching every day and ignore the adults around me that are behaving in an unprofessional manner.

One of the first steps is to talk with your teammates. If this does not work, administration needs to get involved.
