Introducing the Tchr2Tchr Blog!

We are excited to announce a brand-new resource for teachers of all levels and subjects, the Tchr2Tchr Blog! We are a group of educators who met on the Teachers Pay Teachers (TpT) website. We have a diverse group of contributors lined up, and we are planning several features which we hope will inspire and empower you as an educator, such as:

· Bi-weekly articles on topics that are relevant to your role and classroom

· Weekly featured TpT sellers and products to provide just-in-time resources you can use right away

· Links to free resources and websites

· Weekly Thursday Roundup with links to great TpT products at special prices

· Regular posts on Twitter and Facebook to keep you in the know with useful links, quotes, news items, and notifications of new blog content

We would love your help in building the blog into a relevant and useful resource for teachers. We are seeking guest bloggers who would like to contribute articles for any of the following upcoming topics. If you have another great idea, please let us know!

· Tips, tricks, ideas, or lessons for elementary classrooms

· Resources for Presidents’ Day, Washington’s Birthday, Lincoln’s Birthday, Valentine’s Day, and St. Patrick’s Day

· Ideas and resources for teachers of special education students in the regular education, resource, or self-contained classroom

· Lessons and ideas for middle grades educators

· Resources, tips, and tricks for high school teachers in any department

· Test prep help and testing sanity-savers for teachers at all levels

· Web 2.0 and education

Please email us at tchr2tchrblog@gmail.com if you would like to contribute to the blog.
