Case: Negative Nelly
A co-worker is constantly negative about everything. She never has anything positive to say. She is negative about her students, her co-workers, and her job. During collaboration time with the rest of the grade level teachers, she makes it extremely difficult for everyone to work together. What should I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I am experiencing this right now and here's what I did to help. Attempt to foster a relationship to determine what underlying struggles she is experiencing. When I did this, I learned my colleague has many difficult life changes impacting her demeanor. I gave her my cell number and told her I was here for her. After that, her comments improved a bit and I felt comfortable gently calling her on things ("Surely there is one student who is doing the right thing") to make her aware of how she's coming across. |

| Comments: This solution appropriately seeks reasoning behind the negative nelly's behavior and offers assistance to them. It also asks that the teacher kindly call the negative nelly out for negative comments that might be ut of hand in the future. |
