在线教师创业是指在职或前任P-12教师通过TeachersPayTeachers.com （TpT）等在线教育市场发布他们的原创课堂资源和想法。在线教师企业家的材料在课堂上已经变得非常丰富，但人们对这些人或他们的实践知之甚少。本研究通过对TpT销售商（n = 412）的调查，试图了解教师创业的特征、学校环境、实践和影响。描述性结果显示，在线教师企业家主要是女性，白人，受过高等教育，经验丰富的从业者。他们认为自己乐于助人、勤奋、有创造力、有条理。大多数人将学校和商业工作分开，他们花了相当多的时间来创建教育资源，与在线教师合作，以及建立自己的业务。在线教师创业者报告说，他们的教学实践和教师领导机会得到了改善。
Online teacherpreneurship occurs when current or former P-12 teachers distribute their original classroom resources and ideas through online educational marketplaces such as TeachersPayTeachers.com (TpT). Online teacherpreneurs' materials have become prolific in classrooms, but little is known about these individuals or their practice. This study sought to understand the characteristics, school environments, practices, and impacts of teacherpreneurship through a survey of TpT sellers (n = 412). Descriptive results show that online teacherpreneurs were predominantly female, white, highly educated, and experienced practitioners. They viewed themselves as helpful, hard-working, creative, and organized. Most separated their school and business work, and they spent considerable time creating educational resources, collaborating with teachers online, and building their business. Online teacherpreneurs reported experiencing improvements to their teaching practice and teacher leadership opportunities.
