[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One good thing that FCPS does is maintain a large online collection of curricular resources. It's not perfect, but it's way better than having to make everything on your own.  [b]There's also a feature that allows teachers to upload and share lesson plans and materials that they have made.  Other school districts may want to consider at least having a way that teachers can share lesson plans instead of having so many teachers/schools working in isolation to create everything on their own.[/b][/quote]

MCPS had a feature like this, too. We were encouraged to create lessons, materials and assessments and then upload them to the MyMCPS curriculum site and later Google drive. I was not a fan of this because [b]everything we spent time creating belonged to MCPS as soon as it was uploaded to one of those places. Essentially we were creating the materials for them and then they owned the materials we spent the time and effort creating. [/b]I spend a lot of time creating materials and am happy to share with other teachers, but those materials belong to me because I created them, not MCPS. [/quote]

Yes, that is generally how it works when you are paid for the job you do.[/quote]

I don't think you're understanding how little many teachers are paid across our country. In some areas, the salaries are pitifully low.[/quote]
