From the website: "Teachers Pay Teachers is the go-to platform created by teachers, for teachers to access the community, content, and tools they need to teach at their best. Founded in 2006, TpT provides a marketplace for teachers to exchange instructional materials and access easy-to-use digital tools. Today, TpT empowers teachers with the world's largest catalog of over 5 million pieces of educator-created content. Our community of more than 7 million educators — including 85% of PreK-12 U.S. teachers — use TpT to save time, support students, and learn from each other."

The website allows educators to sort and search for templates and lesson plans by grade level and by subject. Some are free, and educators can also sort by cost as well. This website allows educators to share and earn money for their work if they so choose, or as a platform to provide help and care to others for free.
