  Case: Tone of Voice
I have a co-worker that frequently uses a harsh tone when speaking with the students. Some of the students do not respond to this type of redirection. See is doing it frequently and parents and other teachers are starting to complain and she is getting a reputation for being "The Mean Teacher". Is this something I should address?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
If there is an issue with her tone of voice then yes, bring it to her attention. Be professional about it. Do it face to face and be direct but not degrading. If you are not comfortable with it have someone that is do it. But make sure it is a one-on-one discussion because you do not want the teacher to feel attacked or surrounded.

Comments: I really like this solution as well because of how you stressed that it is important to come to the teacher where they do not feel "attacked or surrounded". This is a wise strategy, because in some situations the teacher may be in the dark that they are doing wrong. So, I see that the more respectful one is with situations such as these the teacher will have a more positive feedback.
