K12 Educational Publishing

K12 Educational Publishing
Teachers work so hard! Forget about 8 hour work days and three months off in the Summer. They're working all the time - grading, planning, and perpetual professional development. They create lessons, handouts, assessments and then share them freely with peers. One way be compensated for the extra time and to share with even more folks is to get published. Now in the digital age it is easier. Check out Lulu.com. You send them what you want published. They bind it and if you want them to, they'll offer it to the public. You determine how much profit you charge. You can buy your books at cost. The public pays whatever price you set. Another nice thing about Lulu - you don't have to store or ship books. You just get royalty checks.
Now, if you're like me, your mind is churning: Publish student work, Class sets bound as fundraisers, Portfolios, Personalized yearbooks, and so much more. Yes, and teachers can publish their ideas and work as personal fundraisers. Heaven knows you'll need that money to go out and buy more teaching supplies. Good luck!
