Whenever schools or districts look for new textbooks how much thought is being given to the publishing company? What I mean by that is the publisher can make or break an adoption based on many factors.
1. How is the service? Kendall Hunt prides itself on customer service and it is one of the companies main goals. Your rep or customer service is always there for you and can answer most questions or handle any problem on first contact.
2. Who controls the content of the textbook? Kendall Hunt only publishes the textbooks and content control is retained by the author or authoring group. Many other publishers control content and can make revisions and changes without author approval. In a sense the publishing company is writing the book, not the main author.
3. How are returns handled? Kendall Hunt allows the textbooks to be returned within one year of purchase if they are still in saleable condition.
4. Once a textbook is adopted Kendall Hunt offers professional development at no charge or on a cost-share basis depending on the purchase amount. Kendall Hunt provides quality consultants, most of whom have used the program being trained on. They can give first-hand information on what works and any problems that might arise during the school year.
5. Kendall Hunt is a family owned, privately held publishing company that has been in existence for over 50 years. Now-a-days it's hard to keep up with the publishing companies being bought and sold around the country. Kendall Hunt is stable and will remain within the family.
These are just a few things that should be considered along with the content of your textbook.
