Our stance
WV Classroom is built to support educators, but that only works if we respect intellectual property
and give proper credit. Submissions must follow ethical and legal sharing practices.
What counts as plagiarism
- Submitting someone else’s lesson plan and claiming it as your own
- Copying materials from a website/book without attribution
- Removing an author’s name/logo/watermark from their content
- Uploading paid/published content without permission
What is acceptable sharing
- Your original work
- Work you have written permission to share
- Adapted work with proper credit to the original source
- Public domain or Creative Commons materials (with correct attribution)
Required attribution (recommended format)
If your plan includes adapted content, include a note like:
- Source: Author Name / Website / Book Title
- Link: https://example.com
- Notes: “Adapted from…”
Enforcement
Submissions that appear to violate plagiarism/copyright rules will be rejected or removed.
Repeated violations may result in blocking future submissions.
