Breaking Down Barriers to Assistive Technology
Bridging the gap between budgets and needs
The In-School Program, by Premier, is an educational solution designed to bridge the gap between educational budgets and the need for school districts to serve the literacy needs of ALL the students within the board. The Premier In-School Program takes a multi-sensory approach to literacy — offering auditory accessibility as a companion to printed and digital materials.
A comprehensive collection of literacy tools and a unique approach to licensing allow Premier to offer options and opportunities that do not exist anywhere in the literacy software arena. With the Premier In-School Program, it is now within the reach of school boards to provide literacy solutions to each and every student within your district. Universal Design has never been so attainable...so affordable...so available.
In-School Program Literacy Tools
Robust and easy-to-use tools
The Premier In-School Program capitalizes on the Accessibility Suite of literacy tools. The Suite contains robust and easy-to-use tools that will improve reading, writing, comprehension and learning by providing multiple channels for acquiring and retaining information. Each user can adjust software options based on their own individualized learning style. The Premier In-School Program supports the development of active study strategies and encourages student achievement for success in school and in life.
Licensing
An unlimited board-wide license
The Premier In-School Program is based on an unlimited board-wide license of our Accessibility Suite software. Quite simply, any computer that the Board owns, leases or purchases within the license period is fully covered under the Premier In-School Program. Licenses are granted for a one-year period and include access to unlimited Technical Support. Upgrades within the year are provided at no additional cost.
You also benefit from the Suite’s flexible deployment options. Depending on the preferences of the Board, the software can be deployed on your server using our Network Edition, pushed out to all workstations through the use of an image, installed on individual workstations using a CD or via any combination of these options.
Additional Options
Available only to participants in the Premier In-School Program
Premier AT Home
Provide students, parents and faculty with easy access to the same technology at home that they use in school, making literacy technology a “lifestyle tool”. Access is granted concurrently with the In-School Program for a one-year period enabling students, parents and faculty to access literacy tools year round.
Premier AT Home is hosted via Premier’s secure website that students can access from any computer without requiring login to the school network. A unique Username and Password allow faculty, students and parents full access to Premier products.
Training
Premier Assistive can provide affordable onsite training to jumpstart your site’s implementation of the Suite.
Supplemental Software Opportunities
Premier provides additional incentives for group and volume purchases of Premier products that are not included in the Suite. Applications like Test Builder, VideoCast Studio and Premier’s portable products can be powerful tools in a teacher’s arsenal.
