How to Use Khan Academy's Free Courses for Texas Teachers and Students

- To share valuable free
resources with you today

that I believe will not
only benefit your students,

but also lighten your load as you manage

the many, many decisions and tasks

that come along with teaching nowadays.

I really truly appreciate
everything that you do,

and I hope that these
tools that we discuss today

and these resources will
help simplify your workflow

and give you more time to focus

on what really matters most, right?

All right.

So for today, we'll be exploring

the Khan Academy platform together.

We're gonna start with
the teacher dashboard

and the newly added TEKS-aligned courses,

which also come with a downloadable,

printable teachers guide.

And we're also going to
introduce you to Khanmigo,

your AI-powered teaching assistant.

And before we wrap up, we'll also go over

some practical ways that
you can start integrating

Khan Academy into your
classroom right away

to complement your existing instruction

and all of the great things
that are already going on.

So we also have joining us
today from Khan Academy,

Jennifer Nav-iv, who will be supporting

by answering your questions in the chat.

So please feel free to ask away.

And as a reminder, we are
recording this webinar.

We will be sending it out
to anyone who registers

so that you can revisit this
information anytime you need.

And at the end, we'll also
include the information

of our help center where
you can also get answers

to your questions.

So before we get started,
I'd like to introduce

your dedicated Khan Academy Texas team.

We are all based right here in Texas

and are committed to supporting
districts and schools

throughout our Khan
Academy Districts program.

Now, while districts do have
the option to partner with us

for additional benefits
like automatic rostering,

professional development,
data and reporting,

as well as ongoing implementation support,

today we'll be focusing
exclusively on the free resources

that are always available
to all educators.

Oh, you know what?

Went a slide too far back.

So if could just quickly
check in with everyone.

And if you could please
drop a one, two, or three

in the chat to let us know how familiar

you are with Khan Academy,

where one means that
you're just starting out,

you haven't really ever
been on the platform,

don't really know much about it.

Two means that you have some experience,

and three means that you're
very familiar with our platform.

So if you could just take a minute

to please go ahead and
drop that in the chat.

And while you're doing
that, I'm going to go ahead

and talk to you a little bit
about what is Khan Academy.

And we are a nonprofit organization.

Our mission is to provide free

world-class education to anyone, anywhere.

We do this through our online platform.

We offer personalized learning
experiences for students,

grades second and up is the platform

that we're gonna be exploring today.

We also have Khan Kids available as an app

for our little ones.

And we do focus on mastery learning,

allowing students to
progress at their own pace

and ensuring that they fully
understand each concept

before moving on, because our
goal is to empower learners

and help them reach that grade
level mastery and beyond.

So I'd like to, before we
go live into the platform,

take a moment to explore this
concept of mastery learning,

which is at the
cornerstone of Khan Academy

and how Khan Academy is structured.

As I said, we embrace mastery
learning, this approach,

because it ensures that
students fully understand

a skill or concept before
they move on to the next one.

And this method not only fosters

a deep understanding,

but it also is supported
by robust evidence

showing its effectiveness and improving

the long-term retention
of skills and knowledge.

And it does this by providing
thorough understanding

in combination with timely feedback

and pacing that is
appropriate for the learner

and where that learner is at,

while embedding those strategic
scaffolds along the way.

And especially here in Texas,

you know, this type of
approach is essential

for success on assessments
like STAAR, TSIA2,

and of course the SAT for
our high schoolers as well.

So to illustrate this further,
let's take a look at this

brief video that explains
mastery learning in more detail.

- [Announcer] Have you ever
really tried to learn something

and you just couldn't?

It can make you feel like
you're not so smart, right?

Well, it's not your fault

and it's not your teacher's fault,

it's just our traditional
approach to learning.

We go through school
and we accumulate gaps.

You're a bit shaky on pre-algebra,

but you move on to algebra anyway.

By the time you get to calculus,
you've got lots of gaps.

If enough gaps build up,
you'll eventually hit a wall.

Calculus makes no sense.

And that can be frustrating.

But what if there were a
different way to learn?

That's mastery learning.

Unlike traditional
learning where all students

move in lockstep, with mastery learning,

you go at your own pace.

You progress through questions

at just the right level for you.

If you get 50% right the first
time, it's not a big deal.

Try as many times as you need.

Get feedback as you learn
and help you need it.

Features can track your progress,

identify any gaps and give
you one-on-one attention.

Decades of research shows
mastery learning works.

Now you have the tools
to make it possible.

Are you ready to learn anything?

- All right.

So now we're gonna go
ahead and switch over

so that we can do some
of the fun exploring

right on the platform.

All right, let's...

Let's go ahead and switch
over to the platform.

And there we are.

All right, so we're
gonna go ahead and start.

Once you log in, you create your account.

You'll see this teacher dashboard.

Depending on whether or
not you've added classes,

you may or may not see this class section.

But we're gonna go through
how you can add courses.

The first thing you wanna
do is you wanna come here

to the Explore section.

The Explore section is going
to give you this dropdown

that has the list of all
of our course offerings

that are available to
you and to your students.

As you can see, we offer
a wide range of courses.

Couple things that I wanna note here.

The SAT, the digital
SAT test prep courses,

these have been widely
utilized across the US

for many years because we
are the official partners

with College Board.

So with the digital SAT,

they or your selves could come.

Here we have the digital SAT Math.

We also have the digital
SAT Reading and Writing

as two separate recourse.

The domains are broken into foundations,

and then the questions get
harder with the medium level

and then all the way into advanced.

So that is one that I wanted
to make sure to point out

because it is very popular here in Texas

with our teachers and our students.

All of the courses are designed

to complement your
grade level instruction.

So they offer activities
that encourage students

to think deeply.

They can access various
instructional materials

within the courses to help
scaffold that learning

and help support them as
they go through the practices

and the exercises.

These include videos, the
famous videos by Sal Khan

that I'm sure a lot of you
have already heard in the past.

It also includes articles,

and there are also opportunities to check

for understanding through
quizzes, unit tests.

We also have course
challenges that can be done

three times a year if you'd
like, as a beginning of year,

middle of year, end of year checkpoint.

And those course challenges
are going to give,

they're 30 questions,
about 30 to 45 minutes,

and they're gonna give students
a sprinkling of questions

for the whole course, right?

So again, there's definitely various ways

that students can check for understanding

and you as teachers can
have data and reports

on how your students are doing.

Additionally, our content is
also available in 24 languages,

which this is, I think,

an incredible feature and resource,

especially for our emergent
bilingual students, right?

So if you have emergent bilingual students

that maybe you would like
them to see the content

in their native language to help support

what you're doing in the classroom

as they transition to English,
this is another option

that you can do as well,

assign to those students and have them go

through the content in
their native language.

So in addition to browsing
by course, as you see here,

you can also, for math only,
you can browse by standards.

So if you come up here
to Browse By Standards,

and select Texas,

you now see that we have
alignment from grades

second through eighth,
Algebra I, Algebra II,

Geometry, Precalc, Mathematical
Models with Applications,

Advanced Quantitative
Reasoning, Discrete Mathematics

for Problem Solving,
and Algebraic Reasoning.

I'm just gonna go ahead
and select the Algebra I

to give you an example
of what this looks like.

So here you will see by standard,

the standard is written out,

and then you have a list of all
the resources and activities

that can be assigned to students

to help support that standard.

So if you know this is
something that you're going

to be teaching and you want
to maybe use one of our videos

as an opening to your lesson
and show it whole group,

or maybe you want to, you
know, strategically assign it

to your students for them to complete it

during independent class time or homework,

this is another way that
you can access the content

so that it aligns to
your scope and sequence

and to what's happening in your classroom.

Here on the left-hand side,

you can see all of the courses

that this is available for.

You can always open up the dropdown

so that you're able to see
the standards that are aligned

and the activities that go along with it.

All right, so now I'm gonna go ahead

and shift over to our
new Texas TEKS courses.

We're gonna go ahead and take a little bit

of a deeper dive into those.

And thanks to the Open Doors project

and a generous donation that was provided

by the ExxonMobil Foundation,
our content team has created

courses just for Texas
that align to the TEKS

for math in grades five through eight,

also Algebra I, as well
as high school biology,

high school chemistry
and high school physics.

And with the continued
support of ExxonMobil,

we do have plans next year
to expand these Texas courses

to include third and fourth grade math

as well as Algebra II, Geometry, Precalc,

middle school chemistry,

and integrated sciences
sixth through seventh grade.

And then there are plans
to add even more courses

for '26, '27.

So definitely, you know,
be on the lookout for those

as those get added to our platform.

So now I'm gonna go ahead

and just select one of these courses.

I'm gonna go ahead and go
into 5th grade Texas TEKS

because there are a number
of additional resources

that you're going to find exclusively

in these Texas TEKS courses

that was done as part of the work

that the ExxonMobil grant was
able to provide Khan Academy.

So when you open the
courses, all of our courses,

does not matter what grade
level or what subject,

they're all going to
visually look the same,

and they're all gonna structurally
look and feel the same.

The flow is gonna be the same.

We're gonna have the units for that course

on the left-hand side.

You as the teacher, are able
to go to each of these unit

and, again, assign at the course level,

at the unit level or by
individual activities,

as you saw earlier with the
videos and the articles.

Now here you have these
white boxes, right?

And the white boxes represent skills.

A white box is a skill that has
not been started yet, right?

A student has not interacted
with any type of content

for that particular skill.

And once the student clicks
on the box or the skill

and starts their practice,

it's going to take them through exercises

that have embedded many
times the specific video

or article that will
help support them, right?

So if they're in the
problem and they just,

you know, they're kind of
struggling, they don't remember,

instead of them having to
go, you know, back through

the list of units or exercises available,

the platform has already, you
know, linked for them here

a related content, video or article

that they can quickly access.

It will open in a new
window so that the student

can get that just in
time support they need

as they're working
through these exercises.

Once students complete
exercises and/or quizzes

or unit tests, these
boxes are going to get

one of these four colors.

They're either going to
get a, like, burnt orange,

a lighter orange, a lavender purple,

or a dark purple with a crown.

So when they get this burnt
orange color box, right,

it means that when the
students engaged in problems

or quizzes, tests, et cetera,
with that particular skill,

they got less than 70% of
those questions correctly.

In a familiar, in a light orange,

they got 70% or more
correct within that skill.

If you see the lavender, the proficient,

then that means that they got
100% of the questions correct

when practicing that skill.

Now you might say to
yourself, "Wait a minute,

but if that's 100%, then what
could possibly be Mastered?"

So Mastered is when they see that skill,

they're assessed on that skill in context

with other skills, right?

So it's a mixed skill assessment,

and they still get 100% of the questions

for that skill correct?

So in Proficient, they're at 100%,

but that skill is being
assessed in isolation.

With Mastery, they get
100% of that skill correct,

but they're seeing that skill
mixed in with other skills.

So it's a little bit more difficult

because it's now out of context.

So what we want to see and
what we want to aim for, right,

what our research shows is that students

that can reach these purples,

at least two purples per week,

so two skills to proficiency per week,

are going to be on track to accelerate

their learning by at least 35%.

And in many cases we see, you know,

even bigger gains than that.

So as you're thinking about, you know,

those student data chats
and assigning goals

and really trying to engage your students

in purposeful learning, what
you really wanna aim for

are for students to level
up to these purples,

skills to proficient,
at least two per week.

And a common question that we
sometimes get from educators

is, "Well, how long do the students need

to be on the platform?"

So with Khan Academy, again, you know,

mastery learning is our cornerstone.

It's not about time, it's
really about the learning

that's happening.

And so it's difficult to say, you know,

give you an exact amount of time.

However, what our research has shown

is that it typically
takes students anywhere

from 30 to 60 minutes per
week to reach that minimum

of two skills to proficiency.

So, you know, you wanna
think about, again,

everybody learns at a different
pace and there may be skills

that, you know, they're much
more adept in than others.

So a good timeframe to have in your mind

is providing opportunities
for 30 to 60 minutes per week.

And again, that can look a
variety of different ways.

It can be assigned as
independent classwork,

it can be assigned as homework,

but definitely giving
students an an opportunity

to engage weekly on the platform.

All right, before I move on,

are there any questions in
the chat, Jennifer Aviv,

that we should address whole group?

- [Jennifer] No, we're good at this time.

Thank you, Francis.
- Awesome, excellent.

Okay, so with that,

I wanna go ahead and dive into

these special teacher resources

that are part of the Texas TEKS courses.

You can access them right
here from the home dashboard

under Check out our teacher resources.

You can also access them at the very end

of the left-hand nav menu
here under Teacher resources.

And once you select that,
it's going to take you

to this landing page,
which is going to give you

a guide on how to use the
teacher guides, right?

But it's also going to give you access

to these downloadable and printable guides

that are organized by unit, right?

So I'm gonna go ahead and open up Unit 1,

Extending whole number operations.

It gives you the standards that this guide

is going to cover.

Once you click on that PDF,

it is going to provide you
with objectives, strategies.

It's gonna give you common misconceptions.

It's gonna link you out to
any that are referenced.

Once we scroll down into the
actual unit resources, right,

and again, these are all
going to align to the content

that's on Khan, so it's
going to tell you here

not only the objective
and the teaching tips

to help you as your lesson
planning and as you're delivering

this instruction in your whole group,

but it's also going to
tell you how many videos

are available, how many
articles, and how many exercises

to support that particular
lesson and standard.

And you're also going to have
a Best practices section.

It's going to walk you through
with very specific examples

as well as like verbiage on
how to think through this,

teach this, support
this in your classroom,

and give you also links to additional

general implementation resources
that you can use to support

these standards and this
unit and these lessons

in your classroom.

So I'm going to go ahead and go back here.

I'm gonna go ahead and
just select this unit

just so that, again,

you can kind of see how it's structured.

So now instead of seeing all
the boxes for all the skills

and the entire course,
which are 161 skills,

you see that information here
underneath Grade 5 Texas TEKS,

again, all the courses will have that,

now I'm only seeing for that specific unit

how many skills are available.

So here students would work through

these three and then have a quiz

after those exercises,
right, for that skill.

Then they're gonna work
through this skill.

There's two exercises and
then they'll take a quiz.

And that is how it's repeated, right?

These little lightning
icons represent quizzes

after each skill.

And at the very end of the unit,

they're gonna take the unit test,

which is going to give them questions

from each of the skills
that they worked through

in the unit.

Again, the really great
thing about Khan is that you,

as the teacher, have the
flexibility to assign

course mastery goals.

So if you want to, you know,
make sure that the students

have a goal to get
through the whole course

by the end of the year, you can do that.

You can assign by unit if you wanna

chunk the material for
them and have it aligned

to your scope and sequence.

Because maybe unit one for
you is going to be something

that you're teaching in January.

So that's okay, you can assign
these units out of order,

however they best fit with
your scope and sequence

and what you're doing in the
classroom to help support you.

You're always gonna have
access to the Assign button.

From there, you're gonna be able to assign

at the class level.

So if you wanna assign it to all students,

or if you wanna assign it to
a select group of students,

you're also able to do that.

And you're able to, with anything,

also give specific due dates.

And that's what would
create that assignment

so that the students
then see that information

on their dashboards when
they log in as students.

All right. Let's see.

From here, I'm gonna go ahead and go back.

One thing that here, like I said,

you can assign the course.

Again, you would be able
to select your class

and your students.

There's a way that you can
provide a link to students

so that students can link their accounts

to your class.

And with that, some of
the additional benefits

of adding that information
is that you will get data,

and you will get information
on how your students are doing

based on things that you
have assigned to your class

and to your students.

All right, so we're gonna go ahead now

and shift over to Khanmigo.

Very, very excited to share
with you all things Khanmigo,

because this is the new
AI-powered teaching assistant

that has been integrated into Khan Academy

to help support you as teachers

in not only instructional pieces,

but also administrative
tasks that we know teachers

are asked to do as part of
their everyday workload.

So we're gonna look at different ways

that you can leverage
Khanmigo to help you.

So there's a couple of ways
that you can access Khanmigo.

I'm going to show you first one way,

and then we will look at the second way

that you can do that.

The first way is Khanmigo is
always going to be hovering

here on the lower right-hand corner

anywhere you are in the platform, right?

So if you wake Khanmigo
up and initiate Khanmigo

from one of our courses or
from somewhere in the platform,

it is going to automatically
know where you are, right?

So the prompts that it's going to give you

are going to be specific

to wherever you are on the platform.

So I'm going to say that
I'm in Algebraic reasoning.

I know that this is coming up.

I'm trying to kind of
think through what to do.

I can open Khanmigo and I can go ahead

and ask it questions directly,

or I can use one of
these automated prompts,

and Khanmigo will go ahead
and give me information

based on what I ask it.

One thing that I wanna point
out, a couple of things,

here you're going to see this battery.

Right now, it says that I'm at 95%.

I've been using it quite a bit today.

Khanmigo does run on
something called AI tokens.

And so there it is sort
of like a battery, right?

There's a 24-hour limit.

We've never seen the battery run out,

at least not up to this point.

And we work with Khanmigo every day.

But just in case, we wanna just make sure

that you guys are aware of that.

And it's like Cinderella.

It resets nightly.

So no worries.

If you're ever low, it's okay.

The next day you're back to 100%.

The other thing that I
want to point out for you

are these Leave feedback buttons.

You can either leave as a
thumbs up or a thumbs down,

and that'll be the end of that.

Or you can click on where
it says Leave feedback,

and you can be a little bit more detailed

with the type of feedback
that you provide.

This, there's actually
somebody on our team

that this is her job, is
to analyze this feedback.

So this does not go somewhere
in a cloud or to a robot

or something that nobody ever sees.

Like, this feedback actually
goes to a human person,

you know, at the Khan Academy team

whose job is to make sure
that we are making, you know,

improvements and that
we're constantly ensuring

that Khanmigo is doing
what it needs to do.

So please, you know, don't
ever hesitate to reach out

to us via the Leave feedback.

Now I wanna go ahead and go
into an actual lesson, right?

So here I'm in Understanding factor pairs,

again, I can open up Khanmigo.

As you can see now that
I'm in a specific skill,

Khanmigo's prompts have changed.

Now Khanmigo is giving me the option

to summarize this video,
help me explain this video,

suggest an engaging activity
that will pair with this skill,

or help me write a lesson plan.

Or again, I can ask it any
open-ended question that I want.

However, there are also
other things you can do.

You can come here to the very, very top

where it says Assign, Lesson
Hook, Exit Ticket, Lesson Plan,

and then there's even an
option for More Tools.

And what we've done here
is we've already put

front and center the tools
that we know teachers use

the most when engaging
with specific exercises

and skills lessons, right?

So most of the time
teachers want to be able

to create a lesson hook for
a lesson or an exit ticket

or a lesson plan specific
to this standard and skill.

So you can automatically
write from that specific skill

or lesson, click on Lesson Hook,

and it's going to already populate for you

the information from that
particular skill or lesson

that you were in.

And you can go ahead and click
on Write some lesson hooks,

and Khanmigo is going to go ahead

and provide three different
ideas for you to use

as a lesson hook for
understanding factor pairs.

Now of course, you are the
teacher. This is an assistant.

This is a resource for you.

If there is something that
you don't like about this

or it didn't really, you know,

fit with what you were wanting,

you are able to interact
with Khanmigo, right?

So you can click here
to the little purple,

it'll highlight that section,
and you can ask Khanmigo.

You can say, "Make changes to this."

And you can tell Khanmigo
what kind of changes

you want it to make.

Or you can say, "No, I
don't like this at all.

Go ahead and, you know,
give me a different idea,

give me something else."

Or you can discuss this with Khanmigo,

maybe you have questions about it, right?

You can go ahead and
open up the discuss this

and discuss it with Khanmigo.

You can also make
changes directly on here.

"I want to add an extension to this."

So you can go ahead and make
changes. You can delete.

This is for you to make it your own.

Once you're happy with whatever
you have, you can print it.

You have the option to
print any of the resources

that you get from the Khanmigo tools.

You can also export, you can
export to a Microsoft Word,

you can export to a PDF.

You can save it to Google Drive,

and you can also save it
to Microsoft OneDrive.

In addition to that, there's
like a cloud built in,

it's called My Documents.

And it will save anything
that you do on Khanmigo tools

here as well for you to
access in the future.

So there's multiple ways that you can save

anything that you do with Khanmigo.

Now going to go ahead and
show you this Lesson Plan tool

live because this is
another very popular tool.

Again, I'm opening it directly

from a particular skill or lesson,

so it's gonna already auto-populate that.

But you will see here shortly
where you can put anything

that you want on here and it
will give you a lesson plan.

And I'll show you how to do
that here in a few minutes.

Now with the Lesson Plan tool,

I want you guys to think
of this as a buffet.

When we go to a buffet,
there is absolutely no way

that we can try and eat every single thing

that's in the buffet

because there's just so,
so, so many options, right?

We typically go, we look
at what's available,

and we select what we want

and what is the most appetizing for us.

Same thing with the
Lesson Plan tool, right?

It's always going to give
you a very robust plan.

You're going to have lots and
lots of things to choose from.

Again, you are able to
interact with Khanmigo

at any point with whatever you've selected

that you wanna interact with it for.

You're able to delete, you're able to add,

you're able to print,
export, save to the cloud,

all of those great things.

You're always going to have the objective.

It's going to give you activities
in the form of warmups,

direct instruction.

It's also going to give
you guided practice.

It's going to give you
independent practice.

It's going to give you exit ticket ideas.

It's also going to give
you differentiation for,

here, it gave me differentiation
for advanced learners,

striving learners.

Maybe I have a lot of
emergent bilingual students

in my class.

I can go ahead and, you
know, ask it to give me,

"Give me ideas to support

English learners."

Whoops.

And so Khanmigo will go ahead and,

or actually, I didn't
highlight the whole thing,

so I needed to highlight.

Khanmigo is going to go ahead
and give me support for that.

So what you want, there it is.

There's the support for English learners.

And the more information
you can give Khanmigo,

the more refined and detailed it can be.

And that's something that you will learn

as you start using the tools.

You also have here notable definitions,

extension activities.

It gives you links to ways
that you can extend learning

for students, things that you can go ahead

and directly assign to your students.

And then it gives you a lesson summary.

So that's an example of
the Lesson Plan tool.

Now remember I said that
you could access Khanmigo

two different ways,
directly from the content

with the little Khanmigo
icon at the bottom right.

But you can also come
here to the very top menu

where it says Khanmigo and you
would click on Teacher tools.

And it's going to default here

to all the tools available.

This can be a little bit overwhelming.

So we're gonna go ahead and
chunk this out a little bit.

I want us to look at these
categories up at the top.

So we have tools in purple that are going

to specifically support your planning.

We have tools, color coded in green,

that are going to specifically support

when you're having to create things.

Like for example, maybe you
wanna do a class newsletter.

This is one of my favorite ones,

especially because it will
translate the newsletter for you,

definitely in Spanish and Portuguese,

'cause Khanmigo is trilingual
in Portuguese and Spanish.

And let's just say he's
conversational in other languages,

so you may be able to
get some translations

in other languages.

However, the Spanish and Portuguese

are gonna be the ones that
are gonna have that accuracy

to where you could send without errors.

Here, you would, give
the name of your class,

you know, you could just quickly paste

or put something in about
what you did last week,

what's coming up next week.

I'm just gonna say, you
know, something very quickly.

Obviously the more details you put,

the better it is going to be.

And then maybe I'm gonna put here,

or I wanna do a field trip reminder.

It'll write the newsletter.

And again, you would be
able to translate from here.

You would be able to
export, print directly,

or save it to your preferred method.

With the Create tools,

you also have things like
letters of recommendations

if we have any high school
teachers on the webinar.

I know that that's something
that can be quite popular

in the spring with some of your,

or fall in the spring with
some of your students.

You can generate multiple choice quizzes,

English teachers, science teachers,

any project-based
learning, rubric generator.

This rubric generator will go ahead

and create a rubric for you
based on what you give it.

You're also able to, especially, again,

supporting your emergent
bilingual students

or maybe students that have an IEP

in certain accommodations.

Clear Directions is another great tool

to help support that.

Here, with these red tools,
you have the differentiation.

You can chunk text.

Leveler will adjust the
complexity of any given text.

We've tried it out, I've
tried it out with, you know,

things as complex as the
Declaration of Independence to,

you know, short stories, poems, et cetera.

So Leveler is another one.

Make it Relevant, here's
one that I have put

as a favorite of mine because, you know,

we're always trying to connect
and build relationships

with our students in our classrooms.

So here you can go ahead and, you know,

put in your standard or your objective

or whatever it is that
you're going to be teaching.

And then, you know, using
maybe like a class intro survey

or what you already know about your class,

you can say, you know, let's see,

maybe that your class is
really into the Dallas Cowboys.

I don't know, I mean, I
feel like the Dallas Cowboys

have lost popularity lately.

And then it will go
ahead and connect, right,

that skill or that concept
of linear equations

with the Dallas Cowboys
so that you're able to,

you know, hook and engage
your students accordingly.

All right, let's see.

Support, these blue tools help
support this IEP Assistant.

Here's another example of the way that,

you know, you could
again, leverage Khanmigo

to help support your ARD meetings

or help support you in
preparation for ARD meetings.

Again, this is not meant to replace you

or replace what you are
writing, but simply to help.

Because remember, you know,
Khanmigo may have access

to research and ideas that maybe

we as an ARD committee do not.

So it will never ask for any kind

of identifying information on a student.

But basically by providing
information on these prompts,

you would be able to get recommendations

and suggestions for Khanmigo
that may be something

you may find helpful to incorporate

into a student's 504 plan or IEP.

SMART Goal Writer, this
I would highly recommend

as you're creating your T-test goals.

This could help support
you in writing those.

And here with Learn you
have Refresh My Knowledge.

And with Refresh My
Knowledge, if maybe you're new

to the grade level, new
to the content area,

new to teaching, Khanmigo
can kind of help you refresh,

you know, the knowledge for maybe teaching

that linear equations lesson.

So this is Khanmigo.

I'm gonna go ahead and pause
in case there are any questions

that have come in or
anybody has any questions

that they'd like to drop in the chat

before we go back to our slides.

- [Jennifer] We're all
good, Francis. Thank you.

- Thank you.

All right.

So now we would like to wrap up

with some ideas for implementation.

So here you have sort of a matrix

on good, better, and best ways
to implement Khan Academy.

As a reminder, you know, those
two skills too proficient

per week is what we really want, you know,

to aim for for students.

You know, some schools
may encourage students

to go through the course on their own,

and you know, like at home as homework,

during maybe advisory or WIN.

Others and other teachers
may decide to incorporate

and integrate Khan and have
it, you know, in the classroom

and have it be a part
of like structured time

that's given to students.

You know, we have found that
the most effective approach

includes completing the course challenges

because that's going to
kind of give you a baseline

and the student a
baseline of where they are

for that course.

Again, that's recommended
three times per year,

beginning, middle, end.

Setting those mastery goal, again,

you can set it at the course level, right?

Assign the course because
you want the students

to work through the content of that course

throughout the school year.

Or you can decide to set,

in addition to a course mastery goal,

you also could set unit goals, right,

that align to your scope and sequence.

You wanna always, you
know, encourage students

to track their progress
and for them to understand,

you know, what they're working towards.

In our dashboard, actually,

I'm gonna go ahead and
quickly just go back

because I wanna share with you that

you do have access to,

you do have access to printable resources

that you can use to
leverage the implementation.

So here under, whoops,

excuse me, in your main dashboard,

in your main teacher
dashboard, you are able to,

I think I just froze my...

Trying to switch over.

You have access to resources,

and right here under Resources.

This is where you would
access the documents

for Khanmigo that we
talked about, that cloud.

You also have access to all
of these printable resources

and they're organized by topic for you.

And then if you are wanting to learn more

about how to get started for Khan,

you also have this Getting
started with Khan for Educators

that will show you how to add
courses, how to add goals,

how to, you know, look at
your reports and the data.

And you also have this
Khanmigo for Educators

where you can get certified.

You'll get a certificate
at the end of that course

so that you are able to
leverage that as well.

All right, so I'm gonna go ahead

and switch back to the slide.

And I know that we've been monitoring

the chat for questions.

If there's no questions at this time,

I'm gonna go ahead and leave you all

with our social media and
our help center information.

We have lots and lots of blog articles

that you can type in a question

and it should take you to how-tos

and directions on how to do things,

in addition to those self-paced
courses that I showed you,

you could also access on the platform.

We'd love to have you also join

our Khan Academy Facebook group.

So that link is available
for you there as well.

And the last link

is a blog article that has
videos specific to Khanmigo

and Khanmigo teacher tools
that you're able to access.

They're very brief, short and engaging

and will help you use Khanmigo.

All right, that is our presentation.

We hope that this was
helpful for all of you.

And we look forward to
continuing our partnership

and continuing to be
able to provide educators

and teachers with resources
that can hopefully help

both students and teachers.

Thank you so much.

I hope you have a wonderful
rest of your evening.

Take care. Bye-bye.
