That is a tricky situation. Technically, it could be
considered an evaluation which we are not supposed to do.
On the other hand, I always welcome ideas from my
colleagues to consider ways to improve my teaching
(although I do not always implement their suggestions).
For your colleague, I would focus on the positive and wait
to see if she asks for ways to improve her teaching. It is
a challenge when your colleague is overly sensitive to
suggestions. I would also invite your colleague to watch a
lesson from you in order to give you feedback or, even
better, get ideas from you this way. You may want to
extend this invitation before you go to observe her.
