K-12 Educational Publishing Companies

The K-12 educational publishing community is a growing part of the publishing industry. According to The Association of Educational Publishers and R.R. Bowker in "How Standardization in the K-12 Educational Publishing Industry Can Help Grow Business" (June 3, 2008), because of the growing diversity in educational materials, "schools and districts are now looking to multiple sources for educational materials." This means there is a bigger market for K-12 educational materials than ever before.
