Hello, I'm Jennifer, the Texas professional learning specialist with KH Academy and a former classroom teacher just like you. I am excited to introduce you to the unit guides available in our new TE aligned courses.

These guides are designed to support educators in navigating the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills, or TEKS, while utilizing Khan Academy. So, what exactly are unit guides?

These comprehensive resources outline the key concepts and skills for each unit, ensuring that your instruction is aligned with the TE standards. They provide a clear roadmap for both teaching and learning, making it easier to track progress and understand expectations.

Locating these unit guides is simple. First, log in to your Khan Academy account. Once you're on the homepage, navigate to the Explore section. Here, you will find a list of our TEKS aligned courses. Select the course you're interested in, and you'll see a variety of units. Click on any unit, and you'll find the unit guides linked right there.

Each guide includes a detailed overview of each unit's lessons that highlight objectives, standards, teaching tips, common misconceptions, and best practices. The unit guides are designed to support you, the teacher, in implementing Khan Academy's rigorous, standards-aligned content in your classroom.

These guides focus on practical strategies, helping you focus on what matters most: making a meaningful impact on your students' learning experience while staying aligned with your state standards.
