Teachers Pay Teachers
Teachers Pay Teachers is a website where teachers sell resources that assist other parents or teachers in teaching various subjects and grade levels. Resources include lesson plans, notes, projects, and assessments. Since its a marketplace, there are options for every learning style. These resources apply to a wide variety of subject areas and all grade levels. It also offers independent work packets which can help students solidify their understanding. Teachers Pay Teachers was created by Paul Edelman who saw the benefits of incorporating ideas from other educators. He created this website so that educators could share the resources they use. Teachers and parents who homeschool like it because it provides useful lesson plans, notes, and assessments that can be easily downloaded online. They also appreciate the affordability of the resources. Some don't like the customer service, which can be slow.
