Educator notes.

The 11-member Educator Advisory Committee adds structured notes from a classroom and library perspective. Lower volume than parent reviews; higher per-note weight.

Reviewer credentials

Members of the Educator Advisory Committee are verified K-12 teachers, librarians, and school counselors. The committee has 11 seats and meets quarterly. Members serve renewable two-year terms; conflicts of interest are disclosed and recused.

Scope of educator notes

  • Curriculum fit (does this listing complement common curricula?).
  • Classroom suitability (group settings, attention requirements, transitions).
  • Age-appropriateness from a developmental-stages lens.
  • Social-skills framing (how the listing models cooperation, conflict, inclusion).
  • Library-collection fit (for books and educational sites).

How educator notes weight

Educator notes are surfaced alongside parent reviews on the listing page. They never override the headline score on their own; they inform the verdict line and may attach an advisory note (for example, "Review the social-skills framing before classroom use"). Volume is naturally low; per-note weight is correspondingly higher than per-parent-review weight.

Moderation

Educator notes are reviewed internally for tone and on-topicness before publication. Disagreements between educator notes are kept on the record; the council can be invited to weigh in for hard cases.
