CEOs of NWEA and Khan Academy
By Sal Khan and Chris Minnich
At NWEA and Khan Academy, we share a common goal of helping teachers and students pinpoint where each student is in their educational journey and providing tools to advance their learning. We want teachers to feel empowered and to know—with confidence—where students are in their learning so they can use their expertise to intervene effectively. We also want to make differentiating math instruction for their entire class easy. That’s why partnering together to create MAP® Accelerator™ is so exciting for us.
