by PRP Group, on 09/04/2024
iteach®, the nation’s highest quality alternative teaching certification provider, has partnered with Khan Academy to provide all new educator candidates with free access to Khanmigo for Teachers, a pilot AI-powered teaching assistant.
Khanmigo for Teachers is one of the first tools of its kind designed to help teachers save time so they can focus on the very human work of instructing a classroom full of students.
The partnership between iteach and Khan Academy will train future educators on ways to use AI for curriculum and lesson-planning to save time and enhance student learning. iteach’s six required educational foundation courses will also equip new teachers to instruct students about the ethical usage of AI.Future educators can use Khanmigo to create lesson plans and assignments, and to enhance their own learning. Last school year, teachers in 53 school districts across the US piloted Khanmigo in their classrooms. Through this partnership with Khan Academy, iteach teacher candidates will learn how to get the most out of Khanmigo in its beta form, while gaining valuable insights through iteach’s program about how to teach K-12 students to use AI responsibly.
