Case: A Case of Non-Sharing
Kathy was hired as a new language arts teacher in her school, only having ever taught social studies. The woman who previously taught her possession was given a new title as the gifted teacher for the school and therefore, no longer teaches the subject. Kathy has been struggling because she is not familiar with the lessons and the previous teacher won't share any of her unit plans, instructional strategies, or previous lessons and resources. How would you handle this situation if you were Kathy? Is this something you bring up to administration or try to solve on your own? What have you done when a colleague refuses to share his/her resources with you?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Unfortunately, this is her problem to solve alone. Going to the principal is not a good choice because the other teacher is not doing anything wrong. While it is nice to have colleagues that are willing to share, it is not a requirement. As a teacher, we are not entitled to receiving anyone else's work. We were hired to do to the work ourselves. She is going to have to buckle down, work hard, and develop her own materials. Hopefully she will be in the same spot for several years and able to utilize those materials in years to come. |

| Comments: Just because the teacher goes to an administrator or principal doesn't mean she's doing so with the intent of getting the former teacher in trouble. If I didn't have anything from previous years, I would want to speak with an administrator regardless to make sure I was teaching with consistency compared to what was taught in years past. |
