Leader of Professional Learning ID-12541
ABOUT KHAN ACADEMY Khan Academy is a nonprofit organization on a mission to provide a free, world-class education to anyone, anywhere. We already reach millions of students every month and are growing rapidly, and right now we’re hard at work helping learners address any unfinished learning that the COVID-19 pandemic may have caused. We also know that not all communities have been impacted equally by this pandemic, which makes our work focusing on providing equitable solutions to historically under-resourced communities even more important. WE ARE DRIVEN BY OUR COMMUNITY Our students, teachers, and parents come from all walks of life and so do we.
