Opening doors to STEM education in Texas. Exxon Mobil Foundation and Khan Academy

Khan Academy just got bigger in Texas

We don’t have to tell y’all: education isn’t one-size-fits-all. And that’s why we are excited to announce that our TEKS-aligned courses are officially live and ready for the new school year! Thanks to the generosity of the ExxonMobil Foundation, we have updated our platform to assist Texas students and educators with delivering high-quality, mastery-based learning experiences. 

Khan Academy and the ExxonMobil Foundation have teamed up to launch the Open Doors Project, which brings enhanced STEM education to students in Texas with new, innovative lessons and teacher guides to facilitate lesson implementation.

Dive into Deeper Learning with Innovative STEM Resources

Get ready to ignite a passion for STEM subjects with our all-new math courses (spanning 5th-8th grade and Algebra 1) and science courses (covering high school biology, chemistry, and physics). These courses are meticulously designed to meet the Texas TEKS standards, ensuring a comprehensive and engaging learning journey for your students.

Equipping Educators for Success

To complement these stellar courses, we’ve also crafted detailed teacher guides for each unit. Packed with valuable resources, these guides offer:

  • Clear lesson objectives for focused learning.
  • Effective implementation strategies to seamlessly integrate the courses into your curriculum.
  • Engaging classroom activities to keep students excited and motivated.
  • Actionable insights into common student misconceptions so you can address them head-on.
  • Teaching tips and tricks to enhance your classroom expertise.

These teacher guides are an essential toolkit for any Texas math and science educator, offering practical support to cultivate student success.
