Benefits to Publishers

Helps improve student achievement

Learning List's alignment reports and reviews empower educators to select standards-aligned instructional materials that best address their students' needs and thus, are likely to help students succeed. The detailed alignment reports help educators develop standards-aligned lesson plans, understand state test results and evaluate program effectiveness.

Saves time and money

Selecting instructional materials is a personnel intensive and time-consuming endeavor. Learning List's alignment reports, editorial reviews and educator ratings streamline the process for selecting new and evaluating current materials. By providing three types of reviews for each product, Learning List helps subscribers avoid ineffective and unnecessary purchases. Beyond the selection process, educators can use Learning List's detailed alignment reports to develop standards-aligned lesson plans in a fraction of the time it would otherwise take.

Enhances capacity and expertise

Learning List hires experienced, certified educators to align and review products. Our reviewers are specially trained to align products to the depth and complexity of the standards. Subscribers can access Learning List's completed alignment reports and reviews for hundreds of products and can request reviews of additional products, including products they are currently using. In this way, Learning List becomes a low-cost extension of the district's curriculum team.

Supports legal compliance

Increasingly, laws and regulations require educators to provide students with instructional materials that fully address state learning standards. Learning List provides an independent verification of each product's alignment to state standards. Additionally, Learning List's Fill in the GapTM tool identifies complementary instructional materials that, in the aggregate, address all of the state's learning standards.
