For Illinois school districts
AP® resources for Illinois schools
Review AP tools around local instructional purpose and the people who will use them.Give your AP teachers a shared place to assign practice, review student work, and plan follow-up lessons. Start with the teachers who need accounts, then bring a quote and the requested documents to your school or district’s review process.
Plan accounts for your AP department
Fund teacher-led practice
Teacher accounts support assignments and classroom results. Students complete their teacher’s assignments with free accounts. List the courses and teachers you want to include, then choose quantities for one teacher, an AP department, or several departments together.
Choose independent study separately
Sponsored student accounts are optional for independent study beyond teacher-led assignments. Include them when your school wants to fund students’ use of the study library on their own. Teacher and student volume discounts are calculated separately in checkout.
Plan your department rollout
Identify who will receive the setup link and assign purchased accounts. Choose the teachers, courses, and start date for your first assignments. Teachers review scores and feedback, then use classroom results to plan follow-up practice.
Annual teacher pricing

- $129 each / year

For example, five teacher accounts cost $495 per year. Students complete those teachers’ assignments with free accounts. Optional sponsored student accounts add a separate cost.
Define the local purpose for AI-supported practice
ISBE’s AI guidance emphasizes human relationships, student development, and a locally determined purpose for technology. It asks educators to consider how teachers, students, families, and other stakeholders should inform decisions about AI use. For an AP purchase, identify the instructional problem your department wants to address and invite the people affected by the plan into the review. A specific assignment and its follow-up lesson give the discussion more detail than a feature list alone.
What purpose should this resource serve in the AP course, and how will teachers assess its contribution to learning?
How will student and family perspectives inform classroom expectations for AI assistance and feedback?
What local curriculum, privacy, and purchasing reviews are needed, and who will coordinate the responses?
Document the agreed instructional purpose and share an assignment example with reviewers. Ask purchasing to confirm quantities and access timing after the local review is complete.
From department plan to purchase
Prepare an instructional plan and quote
Choose teacher quantities and any optional sponsored student accounts. Checkout calculates the annual price and lets you download a quote for your business office. Include the courses, quantities, and planned start date. Quotes are valid for 30 days, so check the date before your office issues a purchase order.
Gather your district’s review packet
Ask your office which documents it needs, such as a signed W-9, privacy agreement, accessibility information, or security documentation. Include your district name and its required forms. The document request form opens an editable email draft; send that draft to submit your request.
Complete the purchase and assign accounts
Your office can pay by card or arrange a purchase order using the quote ID. After Fiveable receives and reviews your PO, we send a setup link while your business office arranges payment. If you pay by card or bank transfer, we send the link after payment is confirmed. Use it to assign purchased accounts when teachers are ready.
