  • receive schooling at home;
  • are from other countries;
  • are older than the traditional student;

Home Schoolers

Parents who want a secondary math and science curricula that will prepare their child for the TAKS (Texas state performance assessment) and college, will find that ASKME online courses can provide the content needed for appropriate home instruction.

ASKME courses provide a real-world context for learning that can be used as a supplement to the teaching provided by the parent, or the parent may choose to use a UT K-16 Education Center instructor.

Teacher Support

The UT K-16 Education Center assigns a teacher who will grade the student's work and provide online instructional assistance. The teachers are content-area specialists with Texas secondary certification.

Registration

Independent learners gain access to ASKME courses by registering and paying a per-course tuition fee.

A school official is required to sign the enrollment forms of Independent Learners who plan to take an ASKME course for graduation credit at their home campus. The UT K-16 Center verifies this information with the school official.

Upon registration, the student receives a username and password that allows instant access to the course(s).
