The proper way in my opinion is first of all if possible find your own set of birds, however many times that isn't possible. So If approaching birds with people already fishing them, try if possible to first decide which way the school is moving, which many times from my experience is directly into the wind and/or current. Once you have this figured out, shut your outboard down wayyy before you approach, and use your trolling motor to position yourself appropriately...always respecting the boats that were fishing the school first!
