  Case: Late Lesson Plans
In my school, teachers share the responsibility of developing lesson plans; 1 subject per teacher and it rotates every week. There is a teacher on my grade-level whom FREQUENTLY submits her weekly lesson plans late. If the plans have to be submitted Wednesday, the team will not receive them until Sunday night or ever Monday morning. We have tried discussing this matter with her, not submitting our lesson plans to her for her to do her own, and even bringing this to the attention of administrators; none of which have worked. What do you suggest we as a team should do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would go back to the option of not submitting lesson plans to this teacher. I feel that the rest of the team is being disrespected by this teacher, and it's obvious that nothing you do will change his/her work ethic. I would discuss it with my team and let administration know that this teacher is out of the lesson plan rotation.

Comments: I agree. If she is not getting lesson plans to the other teachers on time, then do not share with her. That way she will feel the stress of what it will be like if she has to create all lesson plans on her own.

Comments: I agree that work ethic is not something easily changed. But it doesn't seem fair to potentially penalize the students by not submitting lesson plans to her.

Comments: This is very thorough. it also shows the teacher that there is consequences for everything she does and how it affects all teachers involved in the process. She can see how it hurts all teachers and not just her. perhaps that will shed some light on the situation for her as a eacher and make her want to improve her work effort.

Comments: Although all your statements are valid, I think this solution hinders the students growth. Teaching is about the students, not the teachers who fall short.
