Teacher's Union opens its own Lesson Plan Sharing site

• antidoh 14y ago
  "While many teachers relish sharing lesson plans, some say they might also hesitate to simply give away materials they have spent years fine-tuning. "“It was the first time I paused and thought, ‘I have spent 10 years developing this unit, tweaking documents,’ and I wondered, ‘Do I just stick it all up there?’ ” she said." YES, if you want to maximize your reach. You're very unlikely to sell it, so the only objection left is that some teacher might become more effective, and somehow compete better with you. Contrast that with students around the country, around the world, directly benefiting from your 10 years of expertise. Wouldn't you like to look back on that in retirement?
