Copyright
A teacher asked me today:
“The school is requiring me to post my lesson plans on the school website. Who holds the copyright for the lesson? Does the school, or does the teacher?”
An interesting question. Can a school publish what you do in the classroom? Should the teacher be able to choose who they collaborate with? Or are all teacher lesson plans “open source”?
Any answers?

I’d say that the school has the rights to anything that was produced by an employee. There is an organization that allows you to post lesson plans online and share (or sell) them for compensation. Off hand, I’m not sure of the company’s name.
