Next you will select your subscription length. Price-breaks are given for longer subscription periods, all the way up to six years. Some students may prefer to purchase their subscription one semester at a time while others may wish to purchase a six year subscription that will take them into their first years as a professional teacher. This is completely up to you and will not affect how TaskStream is used.
