Thank you so much for joining our parent webinar

on how to create a schedule

for your third through fifth grade student,

as well as how you can use Khan Academy resources and tools

to support your child's learning at home,

so you can keep your day moving.

I wanna take a moment to say thank you to our sponsors,

including Bank of America, Google.org, AT&T,

and Novartis for helping us provide this support

during school closures.

Their support has made webinars,

and resources like this possible.

I also want to acknowledge all you parents,

grandparents, older siblings,

and maybe even some teachers who have joined us today.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more

about how you can keep your child learning at home.

We are so grateful you're turning to Khan Academy

during these challenging times.

My name is Shannon, and I'm a former teacher,

currently working on the District Partnerships team

at Khan Academy,

and I'm so excited to be joined

by two of my colleagues and friends,

Dan who is on our marketing team,

and Patty who works with me

on the District Partnerships team.

Patty will be answering your questions

throughout the webinar,

so please submit any questions you have

throughout the presentation in the question box,

and she will get back to you there.

And we'll also save about 10 minutes at the end

to answer your questions live.

Today's webinar will cover how to find,

and utilize content on Khan Academy

during the school closure period,

as well as tips and best practices

for setting up a daily schedule for your child.

This will hopefully be helpful to parents

who are looking for ways to keep their child learning

during school closures, and provide some structure,

so that you can gain back time in your day

for all the many tasks I'm sure you have on your list

beyond child care and homeschooling.

This webinar will not cover in detail account setup,

or how to get started on Khan Academy.

So if you're new, our Remote Learning Guide,

Quickstart Guide, is a good place to start.

If you go to the handout that's linked in this webinar,

you will see on the slide we have linked

the Quickstart Guide, so you can check that out there.

Now, for a bit of background on Khan Academy.

We are a nonprofit organization,

and our mission is to provide

a free world-class education to anyone, anywhere.

Our content is standards aligned,

and available in over 40 languages,

covering multiple content areas.

Your child can access our resources on the web

or through a mobile device.

With more than a billion children worldwide

being impacted by school closures,

we are experiencing soaring demand for our free resources.

We will continue to produce webinars

and resources to support remote learning,

So keep checking back to khanacademy.org

for any upcoming webinars,

and new resources as they are created.

And now let's take a look at what resources

are available for your child.

Khan Academy is possibly best known

for our math content and math videos.

But in addition to math, we have a full range

of subjects and increasing range of subject areas.

For your elementary school student,

relevant content might include

our English Language Arts content,

which is in a work-in-progress state.

You can expect to see it change and evolve,

as we continue to gather feedback.

We also have a mastery enabled grammar course,

which covers third through fifth grade grammar standards,

a computer animation and storytelling course.

Both of these course were created in partnership

with Disney and Pixar, and are highly creative.

They involve computer-based and tech free activities.

We also have a computer programming for beginners course,

and Growth Mindset activities for all ages.

These activities offer students an opportunity

to reflect on their learning goals,

and develop learning strategies

that will likely benefit them

as they adjust to their new learning routine at home.

Of our third through fifth grade content,

one important thing to know,

is only math and grammar are mastery enabled,

meaning students can work

through an entire year's worth of content,

and at their own pace,

and track their progress along the way.

You might be wondering, well, how do I access this content?

And the first step is to ensure

that your child is logged in

to their Khan Academy account.

And from there, and as you can see on the right side,

you go up to Courses,

and that will bring you to the menu

displaying all content on Khan Academy.

And your students can access any exercises,

quizzes, unit tests from there.

But you have another option.

On your child's homepage,

they can select Edit Courses to access content.

And one benefit to adding courses this way,

is it will automatically recommend courses

based off their grade level.

So you can easily find what content

is relevant for your child,

and once they've selected and saved those courses,

it will always appear on their homepage,

so it will be easy to access for them.

And during this time of school closures,

we've heard so much feedback and questions

from parents and teachers,

about how to structure a student's day,

and keep the child learning,

while still getting your own work done.

We know how challenging it can be

to juggle multiple priorities,

and we hope that our resources can help you achieve

some semblance of normalcy during this time.

And in response to this feedback,

we've created this set of schedules

that give you a recommendation,

or you can think of it as a starting point

for structuring your day.

Using the link on this page,

you will see a template for the daily schedules

which go all the way from pre-K to high school.

So if you have younger students or older students,

you can see the schedules there.

We put these schedules out,

having heard that there was a need,

but it's important to acknowledge

that they won't just work as-is for all families.

You know your child best,

so we encourage you to adapt and change the schedule,

to make it work for you and your child.

And in our sample schedule which you see here,

the subjects outlined in green

have resources available for your child

on the Khan Academy.

Your child's school might already be

providing remote learning guidance or tools,

or the schedule might not work well

with the routine you've already established.

So know our sample schedules are meant

to be flexible and adaptable,

to meet the needs of your family.

You might not be able to stick to the schedule every day,

and that's more than okay.

During these challenging times,

everyone is just trying to do their best,

so if all you can do is an hour of math,

and an hour of reading a day with your child,

that's great, and that's enough.

When you and your child are ready,

you can always add additional subjects,

or activities that might interest your child.

For a quick run-through of the sample schedule we have here,

we'll start our day with breakfast,

followed by math.

Some outdoor play if possible,

or maybe a board game with a sibling,

followed by English Language Arts,

some silent reading time,

grammar, and then end the day

with some fun enrichment activities.

Now we're gonna go through each part of this schedule,

and talk about what resources you might use

from Khan Academy.

So starting our day like I mentioned,

first thing to do is eat some breakfast,

the most important meal of the day,

and get out of your pajamas.

It's time to get started with math.

And depending on your child's grade level,

second through fifth grade math is likely a good place

for them to get started.

To move through the content more quickly,

students can utilize our Course Challenges,

and Unit Tests.

One practice we've seen effective,

to fill in learning gaps that your child may

have developed over the years,

is to have students start at kindergarten,

and work through the content for each grade level,

before moving onto the next.

This provides students a rare opportunity

to fill in those gaps that might hold them back

in the future.

If your child doesn't have too many gaps,

it can typically get through previous year's content

in one to three hours.

And for a quick overview of our math content,

here are the most important things you need to know.

Our math content is aligned to Common Core standards,

and it covers all standards

from kindergarten up to early college.

All math content is mastery enabled,

so students can work through an entire course

at their own pace.

As your child works through a course,

they will be exposed to various question types,

receive instant feedback,

and if they get stuck, they have access

to step by step solutions, videos, and articles.

So before asking you for help,

encourage them to check out the learning resources

that are built into Khan Academy.

Students can also track their progress

on this course in realtime,

and as a parent, you can track their progress

on your parent dashboard.

We recommend giving students ample time to play,

and get their heart pumping.

After a break, students can jump

into our English Language Arts content.

You can expect to see more content added

to each grade level over the next month.

You can have your child start at grade level,

and practice one to two practice sets per day,

which should take about 20 minutes.

If you notice the content is too easy,

or too challenging for your child,

you can have them move up or down at any time.

And our ELA content is aligned to Common Core standards.

Right now, our content includes practice

for second through eighth grade standards,

with ninth grade coming soon.

The content is focused on reading and vocabulary standards.

As students work through assignments,

they will be exposed to interesting passage topics,

related to science, social studies,

and social emotional learning.

And similar to our math content,

students have access to instant feedback,

and a worked rationale for every answer choice

if they get stuck.

Our English Language Arts courses

have a limited number of videos,

but you can expect to see more added soon.

Another option for your child
