LearnStorm’s six-week course aligns with the start of the school year to help strengthen students’ skills and get their minds right for the new year.
The flexibility of Khan Academy will be available to students and teachers in a new way this back-to-school season — and this particular classroom program is tailored toward rebuilding students’ confidence as they work to overcome the infamous “summer slide.” The nonprofit education company is launching LearnStorm — a free, online learning challenge — to relieve some of the pressure on teachers as students get acclimated to the new school year. Signups opened Tuesday, and beginning Sept. 12, students in grades 3-12 will have six weeks to work with their classmates — or independently — to strengthen their skills in science, math, history and grammar.
