What do we do?

At Teachers Pay Teachers (TpT), we're unlocking the power of educator-created content. More than 3 out of 4 teachers in the U.S., Canada, and Australia come to TpT every year to get teacher-tested, engaging, and rigorous materials. What began as a humble exchange for teachers looking to share lesson plans has since exploded into a massive online marketplace where teachers have created 4 million resources for all aspects of PreK-12 education. More than six million educators worldwide (including teachers, administrators, and parents) have downloaded TpT resources more than a billion times. According to Fast Company, Teachers Pay Teachers is one of the top 50 Most Innovative Companies in the world in 2019. If you haven't heard of TpT yet and want to learn more, just ask a teacher.

Melissa Fredericks
Education Research and Insights Specialist
HELPING TEACHERS
Keeping educators front and center
In a past life, Fredericks was a kindergarten teacher who leaned on lesson plans from TpT. Now, she works directly with teachers to ensure their perspectives come through in the products the team creates. Annually, Fredricks participates in TpT-organized “field trips” to local classrooms that help employees gain an understanding of educators’ pain points.
Everyone comes back from school visits with palpable enthusiasm and different experiences to share. It’s a chance to see how teachers are innovating and working to ensure that their students are learning.

Senior Product Marketing Manager
CROWDFUNDING SUCCESS
Building products that support teachers
Wang and her team are responsible for the launch of ClassFund, a new crowdfunding platform. She credits two of the company’s values — “speak with candor” and “engage with empathy” — in creating a product that unlocks financial resources for the teachers who need it most. "I love working on products that are uniquely positioned to provide something that makes a difference," Wang said.
Everyone has had an educator who impacted their life. I was excited to work at a company where I can amplify the expertise of educators and foster a community of support among teachers.

ROOM FOR DISCUSSION
Creating opportunities for inclusion
TpT doesn’t just foster moments for learning in the classroom. Robertson co-chairs TpT Blackboard, a Black employee resource group that meets regularly to plan events and create dialogues. To Robertson, Blackboard has been pivotal in building an inclusive community. “We’ve all grown by taking advantage of this safe space,” Robertson said. “We can be vulnerable and share aspects of ourselves that we might usually repress.”
It’s crucial for employees to have these spaces to connect with people who share similar perspectives.

An Insider's view of Teachers Pay Teachers

What are some social events your company does?

Every month a different team in the office will host a Teacher's Lounge. These can be anything ranging from a pumpkin-carving contest, to Office Olympics, where teams of TpT-er's represented a variety of different countries to compete for Office Olympic gold.

Emily

Technical Recruiter

What projects are you most excited about?

My team works on the cloud infrastructure that we run all of our applications on, and we’re excited about creating pre-production environments for every pull request a developer opens. Using Kubernetes, we'd create temporary environments that mimic production but are isolated for testing purposes. This empowers our team to build with confidence.

Lucas Chi

Engineering Manager

What are some things you learned at the company?

One of our company values is “We Learn and Grow Together”. The first few members of the Schools team started right around the same time, so we really had to embody that value! We were building a new set of features and got to make a lot of decisions. Looking back at the code we were writing when I started at TpT, we’ve definitely learned a lot.
