Is one of these examples "more correct" or "more >acceptable/standard" than the others? I see a lot of this. I do not treat them as records (whether or not they are records is debatable, theoretically they could be), because these are not retained permanently in our records retention schedule. They do, however, fall within our collecting policy for curriculum material. So, your author is NOT the school as the government body, or the class as a government body, or the teacher as a government official. What you have is a compilation of many individuals' writings. If you wish, you might consider using that person as a "collector" of an artificial collection. I do not give any term of responsibility for such works (with a nod to AACR2) because there are more than 3 authors.
