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!)
This is a difficult situation. Collaboration time needs to e a time where teachers focus on what to do that is best for the students. This teacher may need to be reminded that the collaborative time is used for student improvement and not a time to focus on the negative aspects that they may see in the classroom. |

Comments: Although reminding the teacher that collaborative time is used to focus on positive aspects might help, that teacher could be feeling emotionally overwhelmed. Reminding her not to focus of negative aspects could make her feel as if she is being ganged up on and upset her even more. There is a better more efficient way to approach the negative nelly. |

Comments: This may work, but it could also just add another thing for the teacher to be negative about. I think the teacher needs to be made aware that her attitude will not be tolerated and isn't helping anyone. |
