TPT (formerly Teachers Pay Teachers) exists to empower teachers to teach at their best. We’re the go-to platform for supporting educators with the resources they need to teach successfully in an ever-changing education landscape. Today, educators turn to TPT to find the world's largest catalog of educator-created learning content and tools for interactive digital instruction. Districts and schools can also support teachers by opting for a TPT School Access subscription, which includes Easel by TPT. More than 7 million educators — including 85% of PreK-12 U.S. teachers — use TPT to save time, engage students, and learn from each other. TpT was founded in 2006 by Paul Edelman. After spending years as an educator in the New York City public schools system, Paul decided to solve a real problem he struggled with every day – finding and sharing educational content with colleagues. What began as a humble exchange for teachers looking to share lesson plans has since exploded into an education powerhouse. If you’ve never heard of TpT and want to learn more, just ask a teacher about us. If you want to solve big problems at scale, work with colleagues who have a deep curiosity for learning, and build things that make a meaningful impact, reach out to us!
