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.

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 - 1–4 teacher accounts: $129 each per year. - 5–24 teacher accounts: $99 each per year. - 25+ teacher accounts: $69 each per 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. ## Use a shared review team to set classroom expectations Iowa DOE’s published tips for starting an AI task force recommend diverse participation, an audit of existing use, policy planning, implementation review, and communication. The planning topics include acceptable use, access, tool vetting, student data, learning, and staff preparation. For an AP department, ask the district’s review team to consider a concrete practice plan. That helps teachers and other reviewers discuss how the proposed tool fits current expectations and what students and families should understand before use. - Who should join the review so curriculum, technology, privacy, student, and family perspectives can inform the proposed classroom plan? - What existing AI use and policies should the department account for when describing its intended assignments? - How will the district evaluate the introduction and communicate expectations to teachers, students, and families? Give the review team an assignment example and the questions purchasing needs answered. Agree on responsibilities and communication before confirming quantities and scheduling student access.

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. ## How teachers use Fiveable in AP courses - [AP World History](/teachers/ap-world-history): Plan source analysis, historical reasoning, and written-response practice for world history classes. - [AP U.S. History](/teachers/ap-us-history): Connect unit practice with document analysis and evidence-based writing in U.S. history classes. - [AP Human Geography](/teachers/ap-human-geography): Build practice around geographic concepts, maps, data, and explanations of spatial patterns. ## Iowa school purchasing questions ### Do we need to purchase an account for every student? Students complete teacher-led assignments with free accounts. Purchase teacher accounts for the teachers who will assign work. Sponsored student accounts are optional for independent study beyond those assignments. Choose those quantities separately in checkout. ### Who should help review an AP department’s AI use? Include the staff responsible for instruction, technology, privacy, and purchasing, and consider student and family input. Iowa DOE’s task-force planning tips emphasize multiple perspectives and a shared understanding of current use before implementation. ### Can we request our district’s privacy documents? Yes. Request documents for your district through the purchasing form. Include your district’s privacy agreement or vendor forms so Fiveable can review your office’s requirements. ### Can schools in Iowa purchase Fiveable with a PO? Yes. Download a quote from school checkout, then have your business office submit its purchase order with the quote ID. Quotes are valid for 30 days. After Fiveable receives and reviews the PO, we send a setup link while the office arranges payment. Your district’s approval and purchasing procedures still apply. ## Explore - [AP Classes](/ap-classes) - [Practice Questions](/practice) - [Pricing](/pricing) - [FAQ](/faq) ## About This Document Canonical Fiveable pages are available as Markdown at the same path plus `.md`. - [llms.txt](https://fiveable.me/llms.txt): index of Fiveable's sections and URL patterns - [llms-full.txt](https://fiveable.me/llms-full.txt): complete subject and unit listing - [MCP server](https://fiveable.me/mcp): call Fiveable as tools instead of fetching pages (`https://fiveable.me/api/mcp`) - [MCP server for AP teachers](https://fiveable.me/mcp/teachers): a teacher's classes, assignments and AP-rubric grading (`https://fiveable.me/api/mcp/teacher`)
