There are those who are very protective of their work, however, & won't share. As teaching colleagues, I can't imagine not offering (as you did) all that I have or know. At our school, we do have a sharing place, so uploading some files is helpful and used. I'm happy to hear what you said!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015645269607993268.post-31221047074832325922012-03-28T22:06:35.768-05:002012-03-28T22:06:35.768-05:00Like you, I think it is so important to share.

I am not really sure I have any ideas that didn't come from someone somewhere getting me started.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08233792477358685156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015645269607993268.post-56143398149966197692012-03-28T20:48:16.395-05:002012-03-28T20:48:16.395-05:00I love to share, but when people don't offer b...I love to share, but when people don't offer back it gets a little less fun to share again. I have a new teaching partner, I share everything. Supplies, ideas, books, plans.

That was annoying, we were supposed to do the same job with different classroom teachers. I did not work that way. I loved to collaborate. I think she was insecure. I give teachers my lesson every time I model in their class, that way they can go back and revisit the language I used.elsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01348895330633879894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015645269607993268.post-33632858597305921902012-03-28T17:47:25.963-05:002012-03-28T17:47:25.963-05:00Great post!

I've had to create several programs from scratch, but I've been lucky to have had several colleagues who have shared their materials and ideas to help out along the way. Besides, everyone gains something from collaboration, on both ends!JenniferMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09603450967368808356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015645269607993268.post-42860558755963992402012-03-28T17:12:39.120-05:002012-03-28T17:12:39.120-05:00I would certainly share.

Where would I be if they had not shared with me??? Thank you for teachers who enjoy having professional conversations and to those take the time to write about what they know.iteachatechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10577705358154432706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015645269607993268.post-89949050692838714252012-03-28T17:11:37.697-05:002012-03-28T17:11:37.697-05:00Great last paragraph.Great last paragraph.Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18011661904689079860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015645269607993268.post-18674207740370700042012-03-28T15:23:50.187-05:002012-03-28T15:23:50.187-05:00I think this is true not only with teachers but wi...I think this is true not only with teachers but with other professions too. I have always created a "book of how to's" in whatever job I'm doing. It not only helps me to put it in writing, but will help make the job easier for someone else. I agree with Michelle - it's for the kids - why not share and build on what already in place.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12901374472056625859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015645269607993268.post-52574921293024756882012-03-28T13:45:45.007-05:002012-03-28T13:45:45.007-05:00Your last paragraph sums it all up perfectly!

It's for the kids anyways! We are here to help and learn and guide them. This is not a competition. It's about paying it forward. I like that.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04822472844833732246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015645269607993268.post-50017795488959245302012-03-28T08:17:55.196-05:002012-03-28T08:17:55.196-05:00I am with you.

I gladly share whenever someone asks, and if I find something that works, I print it up and give it to others I think might like it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
