I Opened a TpT Store!

The Ameri Brit MomLeave a comment

I’ve wanted to go live on Teachers Pay Teachers as a seller for years because I feel that the time and work I put into lessons and activities in my classroom could truly help other teachers. As an educator, there have been many times that I have turned to TpT for inspiration and lesson plans, and now I am giving back by providing some of my own original work in The Ameri Brit Mom’s TpT store.

Freebie: Guide to Hosting a Book Club

I’ve taken years of experience in the classroom, my passion for books, and my interest in growing deep rooted communities to create a Guide to Hosting a Book Club. This four-page workbook walks you through how to plan for a successful book club launch or how to streamline the organization of an already established club.

In this guide, I walk you through creating norms for your group and choosing the right material to consider.

Featured Resource: New Year’s Activity

Your students can set goals and create an actionable plan for the new year. This makes a great back-to-school activity for the new semester.

The Ameri Brit Mom’s TpT Store has resources for classroom organization and management and soon to come–I will be offering lesson plans for ELA and History in the new year. If you are an educator, this is a shop to help you stay organized and on-top of all the demands of the profession.

Teachers Pay Teachers?

Writing effective lesson plans is time consuming. Making learning at the high school level fun and engaging for students requires even more. This year I’ve been focusing on student engagement and getting my students more involved in both the English and History courses that I teach.

It’s taken more time than usual, but my results have been phenomenal. Overall, the students this year have bought into their education more so than those of the past. They are motivated to learn when I get out of the lecture rut and put them in charge of discovering ideas on their own.

During the last two weeks my English students have completed reading projects and a Socratic Seminar. I was so pleased with the results of  both. Students blew away the expectations and made me proud. Going to school is so much more fun when my students are happy and looking forward to class.

For the past couple of weeks I’ve been thinking about opening a shop on Teachers Pay Teachers, a site where I could sell my lesson plans and classroom activities. I’m looking for advice from other teachers out there.

Is it worth it to package and sell lessons that have been successful in my own classroom? 

I’ve had an account with Teachers Pay Teachers for a few years. At this point all I’ve ever done is buy lessons, but I have a few of my own that might be beneficial to others. Any feedback is welcome and will be appreciated.
