  Case: Colleague Confrontation
Michelle has a colleague, actually her team leader, that has much more educational experience than she has This colleague has even been assistant principle previously for one year but was asked to go back to the classroom for undisclosed reasons. Michelle's colleague is very opinionated and outspoken. This colleague has often spoken down to Michelle in front of other team members and treats her unfairly in front of the students. Michelle just sits back and deals with the behavior. This colleague seems to feel that she knows more and is better at teaching than Michelle because she has more years of experience. Michelle has had enough of being cut down in front of others and tormented in team meetings. How should Michelle handle the situation professionally without causing more issues?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
First and foremost, DOCUMENT what the colleague is saying that is so hurtful and degrading. By doing this, when you meet with them one-on-one, you will have specifics and not be trying to think of exactly what they may have said or done. Ask the colleague why they are doing these specific actions. If they continue their ways, ask for an administrator to sit in on a meeting between the two of you and again ask the colleague your concerns.
