I just retired from teaching after 34 years. I have elementary experience. I like the creative part of my job, but not all the testing. I like teaching skills through books and not just testing. The testing and data collecting has ruined teaching for me. I want to make resources and lessons for teachers. I have used TPT for a few years now, and have enjoyed all the creative ideas. That is what I’d like to do now, but I don’t know how to get started. Do you have any advice or ideas of how I get started. Classes etc.

Hello Angela, Your endeavors for education are commendable indeed. You and I share the same passion and I have already served as an educational consultant since 2009 in my home country. Since, now am living in United States and settled in northern Virginia therefore interested to begin my journey as an educational consultant in future along with my part time job as substitute teacher in public school.
I would like to ask you that the licence you are providing in lieu of the course you are offering will it be recognized and accredited in organizations and schools in US? Secondly, does this licence will add value to my present profile?
I shall be grateful and look forward for your advice.

In reply to Deborah.

Hi, Deborah! I think the key to getting noticed is having exceptional products which are unlike others on the market. It definitely does take patience before the sales come in–for me it happened more quickly because I had already spent 10 years building a following on my blog. I don’t have anyone else working with me and really don’t have much time for TPT stuff; it comes in spurts me for me. I’ll make a bunch of stuff at once and then hit a dry spell. I don’t like creating covers, product descriptions, etc. but I do it anyway because it’s an important part of the business! Kind of like grading papers is to classroom teaching. 🙂 There are other websites where you can sell teaching products but TPT is far and away the biggest and IMO the best. I don’t canabilize my sales rankings at TPT by selling elsewhere. I suppose there is room for another TPT but many others have tried it already and not experienced much success. It would be kind of like creating another eBay or Etsy. All the best to you!

I want to bring the experiential aspect of teaching into the public school domain. I am creating lessons and materials for those who want more real life stories, learning materials and activities to engage their students. I am wondering what your advice is for “getting noticed”? On TpT the advise is covers/graphics and patience. Do you have any other advice that can help those of us just getting started? Also, how do you find the time and energy to do all these different activities and make products? Do you have others working with you? I love the development and creating lessons and activities; I don’t particularly enjoy the covers, etc. Do you have an answer for my situation? I would like to find someone to do the covers and I can focus on my passion, the development and creating lessons, etc. Have any ideas? Is there any other websites available to sell teacher products? If so, can you share them? Do you think there is room in the market place for another TpT? With a different slant, with different product requirements and more ecology minded? THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR ANSWERS.
