Is there a particular textbook that I should use for teaching the AP U.S. History course?
Teachers are encouraged to use a variety of texts to develop their course, as this will expose students to several different perspectives. Teachers can choose from several supplementary volumes and source books to use in conjunction with a text. Whenever applicable, college-level texts must be used to engage students in the curriculum. Neither the College Board nor the Development Committee recommends any one particular textbook. Check the United States History Course Home Page for a nonexhaustive list of examples of textbooks. For additional texts and resources for your subject, please consult the Teacher’s Guide. You can find teacher-written reviews of textbooks and other teaching resources in the Teachers’ Resources area on AP Central.
