“The “aligned citations” in Learning List’s alignment reports provide an index of options for lesson plans, classroom activities, and assignments that teachers could use to address each AP standard. Learning List also lists the “non-aligned” citations to inform a teacher which items in a textbook may not be as useful in preparing their students for the AP exam.”
- AP US History Teacher, Ashville, NC
“If I had known about Learning List’s reviews prior to choosing textbooks, resources and supplements, I would have been able to make better decisions for my students earlier. It is an incredible resource that is trustworthy and reliable.”
- AP World History Teacher, DeKalb, GA
“Learning List reviews involve multiple AP content area specialists reviewing publisher materials against course learning objectives. The review is an excellent starting point for an AP teacher or coordinator as they assess what is best for their learning environments.”
- AP Computer Science Principles Teacher, Knoxville, TN
“Tools on Learning List’s website make it simple for teachers to copy the Aligned Citations from Learning List’s alignment report into their lesson plans.”
- AP US History Teacher, Ashville, NC
“Often a textbook is chosen based upon a brief review of a few titles available at a workshop. Learning List’s reviews help teachers/coordinators quickly see how closely each material correlates to the learning objectives and science practices in the AP Course Frameworks. These reviews provide objective data to better inform a very important decision.”
- AP Biology Teacher, Saint Simons Island, GA
“Too often as educators, we choose the resource that was passed down to us. Learning List allows educators a chance to survey several sources and, considering their own unique contexts, choose a resource that may be an even better fit than the one they are currently using.”
- AP Research Teacher, Edmonton, CN
“I participate in the AP Computer Science Principles Teacher Community; there have been questions lately about course materials. Learning List effort is timely and needed.”
- AP Computer Science Principles Teacher, Knoxville, TN
“Learning List’s qualitative editorial reviews as well as the comparative tools on the website allow teachers to readily locate materials that would best serve their specific student population.”
- AP US History Teacher, Ashville, NC

- AP Biology Teacher, Saint Simons Island, GA

“I have just completed a third review of a product where the publisher had edited content in response to the first or second review. The edited product significantly increases the learning objectives’ coverage.”
- AP Computer Science Principles Teacher, Knoxville, TN

- AP World History Teacher, DeKalb, GA
