Khan Academy

Please note: if you already have a Khan Academy (KA) account, and it is defined as a teacher account, you do not need to create a new one.

1. Go to Khan Academy (KA) by clicking on the following link:

https://www.khanacademy.org/signup?isteacher=1

2. Specify the courses and grade levels you are teaching.

Suggestion: select grade levels based on your student roster, and courses if applicable (such as Algebra I, AP Calculus AB, etc…).

Consider including SAT for test prep.

3. You may create new classes based on your students’ needs (by grade level, mastery level, etc…).

Tip: Name each class so that it is easy to know which grade level and/or subject level it is, and use A, B, C, etc… to create sub-groups iff necessary within each grade level.

4. Add Students to each class you create.

Khan Academy provides 3 choices for adding students to your class:

i) Import from Google Classroom (if you do not have a Google Classroom, skip)

ii) Invite students to join your “KA Class” by sending an email to each students. This choice is ideal if students already have a KA account; if they do not have a KA account, this email option will still work: they will have to click on the link they will receive by email and will have to create their “Learner” account.

iii) Create a KA account for them (recommended for students 12 and under, particularly if parents/guardians are unable to set up the account for them; however, it is strongly recommended that the parents create their own “Parent” account, and the “Learner” account for their children, and link them so that they may monitor progress, provide support, etc…). If you wish to create the account for some of your students, the process follows:

• Provide each student name; KA will generate a unique username for each student and will assign an automatic password for each account; you may then download and print a copy of this information so that you may sent the information to each student. Please note: You may only download this when the accounts are created… after that, students will be able to change passwords and you WILL NOT be able to see them.

Please note: You may add each student to more than one class (for example, a student may be in your Algebra I class, and in your Algebra II class as well so that you may differentiate their instruction when exploring more advanced topics, etc…).
