Affiliate & Sponsorship Disclosure

Niche Teacher participates in affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn a commission when you click certain links on this site and make a purchase or sign up for a service — at no additional cost to you. This disclosure is provided in compliance with the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 C.F.R. Part 255).

1. Our Commitment to You

We only link to products and services we genuinely believe are useful to K-12 educators. Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial decisions, tool recommendations, or the content of our lesson plans, rubrics, or worksheets. Our primary goal is to help teachers save time — affiliate income helps us keep the core tools free.

2. Teachers Pay Teachers (TpT)

Niche Teacher has applied for (or participates in) the Teachers Pay Teachers affiliate program. When our blog posts or tool pages include links labeled "Browse on TpT," "Find resources on TpT," or similar, those may be affiliate links. If you click one of those links and purchase a resource, we may receive a small commission from Teachers Pay Teachers. This commission comes out of TpT's margin — you pay the same price you would if you visited TpT directly.

All TpT affiliate links will be identified with language such as:

• "Affiliate link — we may earn a small commission at no cost to you."
• "Sponsored by TpT" (for any paid placements)

3. EdTech & Classroom Tool Affiliates

Our blog and resource pages may contain affiliate links to EdTech products such as classroom management software, interactive whiteboard tools, and professional development platforms. When a link is an affiliate link, it will be clearly labeled in the content near that link.

4. What Is Not Affected by Affiliate Relationships

• The lesson plans, rubrics, and worksheets generated by our tools are not influenced by affiliate relationships.
• Blog content about teaching strategies, differentiation, and standards alignment is not sponsored unless explicitly labeled as such.
• We do not accept payment to recommend specific grade-level content, pedagogy, or curriculum approaches.
• Our free-tier limits and Pro pricing are set independently of any affiliate arrangements.

5. Product Recommendations

When we recommend a resource, tool, or product — whether or not an affiliate link is present — that recommendation reflects our genuine assessment of its usefulness for K-12 educators. We may update or remove recommendations if our assessment changes.

6. How to Identify Affiliate Links

Affiliate links on this site are identified in one or more of the following ways:

• Text disclosures directly adjacent to the link (e.g., "affiliate link")
• A disclosure notice at the top of a blog post or page containing affiliate links
• The label "→" or "Browse on [Platform]" used consistently for affiliate CTAs

If you are ever uncertain whether a link is an affiliate link, feel free to contact us at legal@nicheteacher.com.

7. No Paid Reviews or Endorsements Without Disclosure

If we ever receive free products, services, or compensation in exchange for a review or mention, we will clearly disclose that at the top of the relevant content. We have not received free products or compensation for any content published to date unless explicitly disclosed.
