Course Overview

The source curriculum is presented as a complete recorded video edition of Khan for Educators: Teaching Foundations. Representative lessons include “Welcome to Khan for Educators”, “Mastery learning vs traditional grades” and “Schoolwide discussions”. These recordings give concrete examples to revisit while building instructional planning, platform workflows and reflective teaching practice. Their place in the lesson list is preserved, so you can return to a particular explanation without losing its source position. Introductions, demonstrations, examples, reviews and compilations remain included whenever they appear in the original playlist. Reading a lesson title is useful for locating a topic; working through its reasoning and checking a practice attempt is what makes the recording valuable for learning.

Who is this for?

This course suits teachers and school leaders using the Khan Academy features covered by the selected training track. It also provides a recorded reference for revisiting a topic after an earlier lesson or study attempt. Choose examples appropriate to your background and allow time to work through the method instead of judging understanding only by how familiar the terminology sounds.

Before you start

The lessons are free to watch. Practice access depends on the features available to your account or school; some Khanmigo capabilities have separate access arrangements.

Put the lessons into practice

Draft a short learning plan for a fictional class or school group. Define an instructional goal, identify the features demonstrated in the training that support it and describe how you would review progress. Create a small example of an assignment, support routine or reporting discussion without entering real student information. Explain how the workflow would help a teacher or leader make a decision. Review the plan against the lesson and identify which parts depend on the platform features available in your setting.

This optional study activity is provided by WikiFree for independent practice. Keep your working notes and use the relevant classroom recording to check a step, definition or interpretation. It is not an instructor-marked assignment.

Certificate / Assessment

Watching the public videos and using WikiFree completion tracking does not award a certificate, academic credit, an examination voucher or instructor assessment. Use your practice output to review what you can explain and repeat independently. The recorded lessons provide study material; completion tracking records your progress through that material.
