  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!)
Ever heard the saying kill them with kindness? Well for this situation you could kill them with being positive! Every time the teacher says something negative, redirect them by having them think or say something positive. Eventually this will become a habit for them to do and they won't have to force it.
