ASKME™ Purchasing Options
To purchase a campus license for ASKME™ math and/or science, the district has the option to purchase a license for one course, a suite of courses, or all ASKME™ courses.
The first year that a campus implements ASKME™, the campus is required to purchase on-site support. After the first year, the on-site support cost is not required but is available at a reduced price.
Costs and Sources of Funding
The number of courses the campus or district plans to purchase, plus on-site support, determines the cost of a site license.
Districts could consider the following funding options for the ASKME™ courses:
- Texas High School Completion and Success Grant
- Limited English Proficient Student Success Initiative Grant
- Title I, Part A - School wide Programs
Contact ASKME™ for more information on costs and partnerships.
Implementation Timeline
Implementing ASKME™ requires planning. ASKME™ builds the capacity to implement innovative instructional techniques for problem-based learning. ASKME requires a highly qualified teacher who believes that technology can enhance learning; ASKME™ cannot and does not replace the teacher. To be successful, schools and teachers must be willing to change.
It is recommended that a school spend one semester planning how ASKME™ will be used on their campus or in their district. Implementation should occur the following semester. At no cost, UT K-16 Education Center staff is available to assist the campus or district in planning.
