To think this teacher is trying to take credit for my work

[1Raisedeyebrow]

AIBU - I work in an SEN school and was asked a year ago to rewrite the whole school art curriculum from EYFS through to post 16 for both students at our SEN school and those registered at our school but attend main stream school . I have had to make sure I follow the national curriculum but adapt it to suit our students, so it is quite personalised.
I have recently been asked to add a section that allows teachers to easily copy and paste targets that they can include in the students reports.

The art teacher from another school in our trust has emailed today asking if we can have a chat and complete the curriculum together as it will be easier for us to do together. This request is perfectly reasonable if they had emailed me a year ago before I did all the hard work. I have near enough finished adding the section now requested and think it’s cheeky for them to now come in and try and get credit for all the work I have done. If they wanted to do this jointly they have had over a year to contact me and work with me to create this. Instead they have waited until the easy bit of adding a few report friendly targets is requested and wants to work together. This request to add targets was over a two months ago and they had plenty of time to approach me to do it together then also.

AIBU to think they can go squat in a cactus patch or should I let them contribute the last sentence required to complete the curriculum and then getting credit for all my hard work.

Talking of CFs, one of my team applied for a promotion & his CV told of him setting up systems for ** project & how well the processes worked. I set the bloody systems up, the project had been running for 7 years before he started. He knew I’d set the project up & I knew I was on the selection panel. How he ever thought he’d get away with it I don’t know - needless to say he didn’t even get an interview & left for ‘bigger & better’ things shortly after.

You might not own it, neither will the other teacher but they could use it in their CV to gain promotion.
I’d say thanks but no thanks.

Hilarious 😂

Definitely a CF

I will do!

I think it is perfectly reasonable to be protective of a huge body of work that has taken you a YEAR hard work.

Why wouldn't one want only their name attached to it?

The OP will be sharing the work, but just not allowing someone at the last minute to offer to help and then claim ownership of it.

Only a CF would ask.

Only a CF would think this is a perfectly reasonable request.

A bit unbelievable IMO for anyone to suggest they would happily slog at a project for a YEAR and happily allow someone to take credit for it.

OP, delighted you have been guided how in how to attach your name.

I would think anyone who would claim credit for the work of another is extremely dishonest.

You have understood the issue perfectly!

I agree, she will still get a pat on the back, the task was in her job description. Sounds a bit toxic tbh

I agree, tell her it's too late.
