Practical Tools for Real Early Learning Programs
I’m excited to share that the Little Hawk Consulting Resources store on Teachers Pay Teachers is officially re-launched!
This has been a long time coming.
Over the past year, my work has focused heavily on supporting programs with policies, compliance, monitoring preparation, and systems development. One thing has become very clear across all of that work:
Programs need tools they can actually use. Not binders that sit on shelves, policies that don’t match practice, or activity plans that don’t connect to the community.
They need resources that are clear, practical, aligned with standards, and usable in real classrooms and real programs and that is where Teachers Pay Teachers resources comes in.
After almost 20 years as a teacher, manager, and director, I have learned firsthand what works and what doesn’t. I am converting and digitizing my most popular and useful teaching materials, management tools, and administrative documents and offering them for sale on the Little Hawk Consulting Resources store.
So…What is Teachers Pay Teachers (TPT)?
If you’re not familiar with Teachers Pay Teachers (TPT), it is the largest marketplace for educator-created resources, offering millions of classroom-tested materials for early childhood, Head Start, and K–12 programs. The Little Hawk Consulting Resources store provides practical, standards-aligned tools designed for real program use, including outdoor learning activities, seasonal bundles, and compliance-focused resources.
Founded by a classroom teacher in 2006, TPT has grown to a platform with more than 7 million educators, including approximately 85% of PK–12 teachers in the United States. Today, TPT offers millions of free and paid resources across all subject areas, created by educators who understand what actually works in real classrooms. These resources have been downloaded over 1 billion times, reflecting the platform’s widespread use and trust within the education field.
In 2023 TPT joined forces with the IXL Learning family, an education leader that also includes Rosetta Stone and education.com. Little Hawk Consulting Resources is proud to represent both TPT and IXL and is committed to providing high-quality resources on this platform.
What You’ll Find in the Store
The Little Hawk Consulting Resources store supports AI/AN and community-based Head Start early learning and care teams with quality resources. Teaching resources include Teacher’s Guides, Discussion Prompts, Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework (ELOF), and Common Core standards to support alignment with Creative Curriculum, Teaching Strategies, and Brightwheel curricula and state education standards.
Outdoor & Nature-Based Learning Resources
These are some of my favorite tools, and some of the most requested.
