  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!)
Yes, I agree with not sharing your part with her. I would go ahead and tell her up front she will not be getting the ones you all make until she turns in her part. If she continues to not turn them in on time then just take her out of the equation all together, and you all rotate with the extra subject each week so that someone is still getting her subject lesson plans done. Then she is making her own lesson plans each week for every subject.

Comments: This shows her that all need to contribute for the lessons to work affectively. it also shows her that team effort is important. it also demonstrates how ocnsequences come into play for every action one takes in life. it helps her to realize that all are affected by her lack of effort.

Comments: This solution will not provide any benefit, as the students will be the ones to suffer from a subpar lesson. Although she may be late, providing your lesson plans late do not hurt her as much as it would the children.

Comments: Although I understand the message behind this solution, I think it is somewhat immature to withhold ones lesson plan until she turns in hers. This behavior stoops down to her level rather than rising above it. Additionally, this action mainly impacts the students negatively.
