*Teachers assign the practice questions and

assignments through Khan Academy.

*Students see the videos either at their house or

at school and do the practice questions.

*Teachers could see which questions students

get wrong (which cant be done in Carnegie)

and could see which videos were seen morethan once.

*Before Khan Academy teachers would have to

stop their lesson plan to explain something

which is explained through these videos.

*Khan Academy was made so that students could

learn at their own pace.

*Students do the basics at their house and

teachers explain what students did not

understand and get further into their lesson

plan.

*This was made to make learning fun and sothat students could get a step ahead.

Astronomy, Credit Crisis, Credit Crisis, SAT

Preparation, and much more. 40+ topics.

courses.

*

*Since Mater is lagging behind on SAT scores,

this will boost the Math portion if students

watch the videos.

*Since most of the topics are also Advanced

Placement topics, the AP pass rates will

increase.

*Mater will be the city on a hill for otherschools.
