School Teachers News

There is no news like school teachers news because it is business that affects your school-aged-children directly or indirectly. Some teacher news information is quintessentially interesting and one of the most interesting is the news that teachers are finally looking out for each other in a most creative way.

For decades teachers have looked to Corporations and large national companies for school related ideas, materials, and everyday classroom needs. But, more and more teachers are looking to each other for those things.

And why not? It is something I had always hoped teachers would do. There is an arsenal of retired teachers sitting on decades of knowledge and experience. All a new teacher has to do is go online to cash in on all the available material and expertise and incorporate it for a richer student/teacher experience.

TeachersPayTeachers is an open market where teachers can go online to buy and sell original teacher ideas, thoughts, and teaching materials. If a teacher needs a curriculum guide it is available for free or for purchase at this site. The site is truly a marketplace for educators.

Should you need a math lesson or two you can purchase ideas from another teacher who has been down that road. Maybe it is an art syllabus you need ? no problem. It warms my heart to see teachers turning to each other rather than large corporations who deal in school products.

Never before have teachers helped teachers in such a direct and profitable way. This enterprise is actually creating millionaire teachers. One teacher, despite her millions, is still teaching in her classroom every day because teaching remains her first love. She claims the only thing different in her life is her bank account.

The TeachersPayTeachers idea has hit the airwaves. I recently saw a CNN broadcast focusing on an actual teacher who has made at least a million dollars through this way. She simply offered her teacher ideas for the classroom at 1, 2, and 3 dollars an item.

I once spoke, confidentially, with a teacher who had taught for 38 years and was still going strong. I asked her when she would retire and she asked the question, ?What would I do with all this knowledge if I retired?? At the time I had no answer for her.

But, now I do have an answer and if she were to ask the question today I would tell her about the fascinating websites that are popping up for teachers to pay teachers for their experience and knowledge. I would tell her about TeachersPayTeachers.
