Getting To Know Teacher Essentials™

Teacher Essentials™ isn’t like those other media sharing sites…You know, the ones that you have to screen the videos your students will be watching in advance for any “questionable” content. Or the ones that you wouldn’t dream of giving students the URL and letting them explore on their own for fear of receiving angry phone calls from concerned parents about what their kids have been exposed to.

No, Teacher Essentials™ definitely isn’t like those other sites.

Teacher Essentials™ was designed with students, teachers, and parents in mind. All uploaded videos are pre-screened and approved by our moderators before ever showing up on the site. It may take 1 to 2 days for an uploaded video to appear for that very fact, but we know that being able to guarantee 100% safe educational content makes it worth the slight delay.

There are no accounts to sign up for and we don’t keep any data on our viewers. You don’t have to give us a thing to get access to our educational content. Nada. Zip. Zero. Your private info can remain just that, private.

We believe that educational videos should be free. For that very fact you will never see third-party advertisers on our site flashing their wares at every possible chance.

So now that you’ve gotten to know what makes Teacher Essentials™ tick, feel free to check out our videos and even upload some of your own to help expand the minds of students everywhere.

Keeping Content Clean

Welcome to Teacher Essentials™! Our mission is to facilitate the sharing of relevant and accurate educational videos where students from K-12 can learn in a safe and comfortable environment. We ensure content is appropriate for the site through the following pre-screening process:

When a video is uploaded to the site it doesn’t immediately get published for all to see, but instead goes into a screening room that only our moderators have access to. The video is encoded into the format required by our site and an email is sent to the moderators stating that new content is ready to be screened. Next our publishers, who are educators by trade, review the content and publish only the approved videos. It is at this point that the video becomes visible on the website for the general public.

By going through the screening and approval process, Teacher Essentials™ can guarantee that all content is safe and appropriate for school use.
