[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Instead of complaining, offer to help. Could a few teachers get together and offer to be servers or do set up, or as someone suggested, bring in the coffee and get that station going? In my experience, teachers are dismissed as complainers if they don't offer a viable solution or aren't willing to be part of that solution. But you'll enjoy work a lot more if you assume positive intent. Ok, maybe she wants to make a good impression on central, but that's not incompatible with wanting her or his staff to feel cared for and welcomed. I do agree that preservice shouldn't be endless meetings. The greatest gift admin can give staff is allowing them time to feel ready for the kids to arrive. [/quote]

+1. Any suggestions would go over better WITH an offer to help. Don't just complain about petty stuff like coffee not being set up; VOLUNTEER to go in a bit earlier and help set it up! FFS!

Once you've shown with actions, not just words, that you have good ideas and are willing to help, anything you suggest in the future will be better-received. [/quote]

It seems like the 7:45-8:15 is a time to chat with staff before a quick orientation. To the person who does not appreciate the gesture, it sounds like you only want to set up your room and meet your needs. And maybe the principal wants to find a way to connect staff to some extent?[/quote]
