What\u2019s Here<\/h3>\n

Education and entrepreneurship intersect for edupreneurs who sell their teaching materials online, provide professional development services, and create all kinds of\u00a0side businesses that utilize their teaching skills. Sometimes called teacherpreneurs, these individuals are tired of having their teaching expertise undervalued while corporations roll in the dough from publishing curriculum resources and consulting with schools. Who knows best practices for teaching better than a teacher?<\/p>\n

I became an edupreneur in 2003 when I created this website. Over the years, I started making money from ad and sponsorship revenue, affiliate link earnings, freelance writing and editorial work,\u00a0book sales<\/a>,\u00a0webinars<\/a>, and\u00a0speaking engagements along with instructional coaching<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In 2009 when I got married and moved to New York City to be with my husband, I took the leap from full-time teaching to full-time consulting. I\u2019m now an edupreneur who teaches teachers! I work as an instructional coach, provide staff development, and create books and articles to support educators in their daily practice. I make a living doing the creative things I love, and I want to help other educators do the same. You can\u00a0hear more about my story in this interview<\/a>.<\/p>\n
