As a teacher, you know the difference between a Pinterest download and a resource that actually works within the classroom. You need materials that are standards-aligned, flexible, and classroom-tested not just a one-size-fits-all. That’s where TeachShare delivers.
Rather than a static library full of out-dated resources, TeachShare offers an integrated platform with three powerful tools:
Marketplace – A community-powered space where educators share, rate, and remix teaching resources.
Toolbox – A growing suite of AI-powered tools for generating everything from lesson plans to rubrics to student feedback.
Creator – A dynamic AI engine that builds full lessons and resources with standards, scaffolds, and editable tasks in minutes.
Whether you need differentiated math support, a ready-made ELA worksheet, or an email template for family communication, TeachShare helps you create, adapt, and deliver it without the headache of trying to figure out some confusing tool.
What’s Inside the TeachShare Platform?
TeachShare is designed for educators who value quality, community, and flexibility. Here’s how each component works:
1. The Marketplace: A Peer-Powered Teaching Exchange
At the heart of TeachShare is its Marketplace, it's basically a growing collection of classroom-ready resources made by teachers, for teachers. You can:
Search by subject, grade, or resource type
Preview materials before downloading
See ratings, reviews, and remix options
Contribute your own work and gain recognition
From narrative writing checklists to interactive games and exit tickets, their Marketplace is packed with authentic classroom tools which I have absolutely loved using!

2. The Toolbox: Your Instant Resource Generator
The Toolbox gives you over SO many AI-powered tools in one place to instantly generate:
Report card comments
Rubrics and 504 plans
Student work feedback
SMART goal trackers
Informational texts, summaries, and more
Each tool is clearly labeled by purpose (planning, content, or questions), and you can favorite the ones you use most. It’s like having a digital co-teacher/assistant ready at all times.

3. The Creator: Full Lesson Plans + Resources in Minutes
With the Creator tool, you enter a topic, grade level, and lesson phase then let the AI do everything for you. Even better? You can activate “Boosts” that apply instructional strategies like:
Scaffolding
Inquiry
Discourse
Game-based learning
Gradual release of responsibility
These boosts align with learning science and instantly shape the format and rigor of your materials.

Why Peer-Created Content Works
According to Edutopia, teacher collaboration is one of the strongest levers for student success. When resources come from real classrooms, they reflect:
Authentic instructional challenges
Real-world differentiation strategies
Tested student engagement practices
TeachShare takes this collaboration even further offering instant customization so teachers can adapt shared materials and make it fit their classrooms PERFECTLY.
What You Can Do with TeachShare
Just a few ways teachers are already using TeachShare:
Download and remix standards-aligned math and ELA worksheets
Generate personalized rubrics and 504 plans in the Toolbox
Create full lessons with scaffolding, discourse, or inquiry baked in
Submit your own materials to gain recognition in the Marketplace
The best part? It’s all editable, reusable, and designed to save you time, but NOT sacrifice your creativity.
Final Thoughts
TeachShare isn’t just another platform. What I've found is that it’s a living, breathing teacher network empowered by AI. It puts quality resources, smart tools, and peer insight at your fingertips. If you’re looking for a smarter and faster way to create and collaborate on great classroom content, TeachShare is exactly where you want to be.
