Khan Academy for Texas

Even Khan Academy Is Bigger in Texas

Khan Academy Districts builds on the Khan Academy mission to provide a world class education to anyone, anywhere by offering school districts in Texas strategic implementation tools, data, and services that optimize use of the Khan Academy platform to drive equitable learning outcomes.

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 innovative lessons and teacher guides to facilitate their implementation. Learn more about the Open Doors Project by clicking this link.

TEKS-aligned courses

Thanks to a generous grant from the ExxonMobil Foundation, Khan Academy offers Texas educators TEKS-aligned student courses and teacher guides that ensure they are prepared to meet the needs of every learner. 

Teacher Resources

Teacher resources offer the following:

• Support at all levels of content knowledge. Teachers tasked with working in new content areas have long trusted Khan Academy to help bring them up to speed on new standards. With additional resources, new teachers can navigate new roles with even more confidence, and seasoned teachers can access new bandwidth to implement their most creative lessons yet.
  
• Resources that encourage teachers to lean on best practices. Teachers using the resources receive detailed guidance on defining appropriate learning objectives, addressing misconceptions, and the most effective ways to teach and scaffold new learning content. As teachers’ confidence increases, so do their students–and that collective efficacy translatse directly into learning outcomes.
  
• Clear guidance on how to translate mastery learning across STEM. Implementing mastery-based learning in something as systematic as mathematics can seem intuitive. But science can feel like a whole new world. With structured lesson plans and clear instructional guidance, teachers know how to break down science TEKS to different skill levels and adapt their instruction to students’ unique learning levels.
