  Case: Copying Lesson Plans
A teacher in my school does not write lesson plans, but instead she simply uses Google Drive to make copies of other teachers' plans and she changes the name. She is not putting forth the effort required to effectively teach the curriculum. How should I proceed with this information as it is greatly impacting her students?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
There are department teams that share a curriculum with their other team members. I would not accuse them of doing this without the other teacher's permission. I would not gossip with other teachers either about this topic. You are not a detective in the situation, and it is not a good idea to accuse her of something if you do not know the entire situation. If two teachers are sending in the same lesson plans to their principal then they will handle it. I under the difficult situation you may be in but I would not make too big of a deal of this.

Comments: I think this situation calls for a team effort. Gossip should be avoided. I do not think it is good for one teacher to be authoritative to another unless he/she is in a position of authority.
