The hostility on my team is rough. We have a yeller. I walked by her room the other day. She was screaming across the room at a student, "you have to be kind to get kindness." Seriously, those were her words in a loud, berating, angry tone. Our admin has asked that we not report these. We are to talk to the teacher. She has yelled at me and other adults. Admin has to know she treats the kids this way too. One teacher has to work with her door closed to not hear the yelling all day.

It's that administrator's job to deal with this, not yours or any other teacher's. What would happen if you told the admin how distracting this is for you and your students? Would they deal with it then? Or you may have to go above their head and complain to other higher ups...This teacher should not be allowed to continue yelling like that at kids.

That is a tough one, shouldn’t be but is. Those yellers are typically intense in all areas of their lives and so admin may need to buck up and coach up or out for the betterment of the team and definitely the kids. I would encourage you to say something to your colleague, maybe record it so she can hear herself and then if that doesn’t work insist your admin. support your team by addressing it based on the expectations of your team. As a colleague though, you should feel comfortable and know the importance of the role you play in holding team members accountable. That person may think they are fine if they haven’t heard concerns brought to them by colleagues.

Found out today my toxic manager bad mouthed me to an HR rep in a different division. This correlated with his bad management and abusive behavior. Luckily the new manager I’ll soon be working with dismissed it. Her words of wisdom “reflect on what you could have done differently, you can only control your actions”. How does that resonate for you? Have you had similar experiences?

Are you responsible for giving performance feedback? Avoid giving personality based feedback.

Is anyone else concerned about how to raise the expectations and students’ self-discipline back to pre-enabling levels?
