Many publishers now offer content for the classroom and for teacher professional development. However, particular publishers are dedicated to producing textbooks for specific markets. For example, there are publishers dedicated to high-school publishing, ESL (English as a Second Language) students, home-schooled children and more. Although these companies make their books available for individual purchase, their clients are more likely to be school districts or individual schools who purchase books for classroom use.
