  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!)
I don't see this as an issue for administration. I would ask around to find others with possible resources, perhaps even the administrator would be helpful here.
