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 would speak with the co-worker about how it makes you feel. This could allow her to see how her actions affect others, prompting her to change. During collaboration, you could also have the other co-workers bring up how they feel in order to show her that it affects everyone.
