"Educators are smart, capable, and they know their stuff! While they love their jobs in schools, many want to use their expertise in a way that allows them to help more students and other educators while bringing in some extra income, but they don't know how to get started. This book will walk educators at all levels through a number of ways to package their professional genius in a way that will share their gifts with the world both in and outside of their full-time jobs in education.
