The School District of Palm Beach County is now a Khan Academy District (KAD)! During the 2023-2024 school year, nine high schools piloted Khan Academy and Khanmigo, an AI-powered teaching assistant for educators and a personal tutor for students. In FY25, access was expanded to all middle school and high school students, as well as all SDPBC teachers and administrators.

Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empowers learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom.
For learners and families, Khanmigo offers engaging, on-topic, and effective learning for students, and is ethically designed with safety and learning as a top priority. Unlike other AI tools such as ChatGPT, Khanmigo doesn’t just give answers. Instead, with limitless patience, it guides learners to find the answer themselves.
For teachers, Khanmigo is designed to make your role less about busy work. What normally takes hours can be done quickly with Khanmigo: differentiation, lesson plans, quiz questions, student groupings, hooks, exit tickets, rubrics, and more.

Khan Academy Secondary integration model
Khan Academy Secondary integration model
Once student activation is greater than 95%, students should interact with Khanmigo AI an average of 10+ times each month. An interaction, also known as a message, is any time a student engages with Khanmigo in the chatbox. This can be while watching a video, completing an activity, or chatting with Khanmigo for studying or homework. Look for the purple box in the pictures; these are all interactions with Khanmigo!
In Khanmigo Usage, calculate your interactions by multiplying:
% Students Active (active = has sent 1 or more chats)
Chats per Student (number of chat sessions)
Messages Per Chat (number of messages per chat session)
In this case .42 x 3.8 x 5.6 = 8.938 average interactions.
