Teachers Pay Teachers
Teachers can buy and sell proven successful, creative original classroom lessons and resources. How much is one's time worth? If someone else has created a lesson that meets the objectives another seeks to achieve, must each person create an original lesson? We think not. A variety of grade levels and subject area lessons area available at reasonable prices. Some materials are free.
