  Case: Co-worker trying to tell me how to do my job
This year I was selected as the grade-level chairperson for Kindergarten. Another Kindergarten teacher, new to Kindergarten this year, has been a grade-level chair in first grade. She is constantly behind me "reminding" me to do things and telling me how she used to do things in first grade. How do I tell her that I can handle my responsibilities without coming across as being rude?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
It is always nice to have suggestions and support from co-workers, but sometimes too much can feel like they are overstepping or treating you like you don't know what you are doing. I would suggest talking to this teacher and telling them that although you appreciate their support, you know what you are doing and will come to them if you have any questions.
