About School Division
The Association of American Publishers' School Division is the national voice of the U.S. preK-12 school publishing industry. Members of the AAP School Division develop educational materials, technology-based curricula and assessments that help students, teachers, and schools succeed. AAP members include both large and small publishers, testing companies and a host of non-profit associations, manufacturers and vendors.
The AAP School Division works to foster a fair, competitive and robust market for all educational publishers, including those that develop core instructional content, supplemental materials and technology products. The AAP School Division consistently achieves significant increases in public funding for instructional materials. AAP's recent legislative successes in Florida, California, Texas, New York and many other states create new opportunities for large and small publishers alike. No other organization works to support the school publishing industry in this way.
The AAP School Division and its members work to:
- Ensure all students have the opportunity to learn by having access to a wide variety of standards-based instructional content.
- Increase funding for all types of instructional materials.
- Positively affect public policy by working with educators and policy leaders in shaping policy to improve the educational achievement of all students.
- Build understanding among educators, policy leaders and the general public of the important role educational publishers play in bringing high-quality content, curricula and professional development to the nation's schools.
- Serve as a resource to educators, publishers, policy makers and news media by hosting conferences and forums; providing information and research through websites, position papers and testimony that help to raise awareness and build common understanding.
