In a time marked by burnout, budget cuts, and uncertainty, school leaders have an urgent opportunity to reignite what makes learning joyful, human, and purposeful. This guide outlines five actionable mindset shifts—rooted in research and real-world practice—that support cultures of interpersonal connection that drive learning.

In this October 2024 webinar, College Board and Khan Academy share how to use free and paid resources to support district-wide SAT prep.

In this May 15, 2025 webinar, panel of teachers and administrators from Paradise Valley Unified School District joined Khan Academy's Professional Learning Specialist, Jennifer Cummings, for a conversation about how the district connected AI to district-wide goals around Algebra readiness and student engagement.

Each quarter, we interview Kristen DiCerbo, Chief Learning Officer of Khan Academy, to learn from her reflections as a leading researcher and product developer in the AI for education world. In this interview, first published in the April 2025 Sal’s Quarterly Newsletter for District Leaders, Kristen offered guidance to district leaders who are thinking deeply about implementing AI for learning.

On August 7th, 2025, Sal Khan, the founder of Khan Academy, made his inaugural visit to Ohio. The state is no stranger to learning on the platform—across the region, districts are partnered with Khan Academy to close skill gaps, become AI-literate, and help students prepare for college and careers. Districts like Tipp City Schools launched one of Ohio’s first AI-powered learning labs, making it a foundational site in the newly established Ohio AI Education Network.

Each quarter, we sit down with Dr. Kristen DiCerbo, Khan Academy’s Chief Learning Officer, to reflect on what she’s seeing in the field, in the research, and in the data. This time, with SAT prep top of mind for many districts, we asked her to share how she’s thinking about assessment, motivation, and meaningful practice.
