  This seems like an interesting idea, I wonder if the school feels they should get some of the profits? She spends 40 hours a week working on lessons to sell, I guess she would be prepping them anyway. She still drives a Kia, she says!

  OMG!! This is amazing and wonderful:) Maybe this could serve as second job for teachers to earn money in the profession. Teacher resources through educational publishers create lessons with their curriculum, textbooks, cd's and online resources. I think this gives teachers a chance to profit from their "best shared practices". Those purchasing these lessons would be responsible for making sure the lessons meet their course standards and authorizations for use. Nevertheless, it is an interesting concept to consider. Thank you for sharing.

  Deanna Jump's blog is awesome! I will definitely be looking into the TeachersPayTeachers website to see what it's all about. It's great to see teachers being rewarded financially for their hard work!

  I respect what Deanna Jump has done, and what others involved in TPT are doing. There's a part of me, though, that feels compelled to wonder if the sharing of ideas in education is something that should be monetized, especially in an age where sharing is so easy. Do we want teachers to become siloed for-profit entrepreneurs? Isn't there some moral obligation to help and share as widely as possible?
