What can I do from the Khan Academy Parent Dashboard?

Parents are key in supporting their children’s learning at Khan Academy and your account's Parent Dashboard is your hub for everything on Khan Academy. From the Parent Dashboard you can: 

1. Connect your child's account
2. Access your child's settings page
3. Create assignments for your child
4. Follow your child's progress on Khan Academy
5. Access the Khanmigo Parent Tools

Navigating to the Parent Dashboard

You can access the Parent Dashboard by clicking your name in the top right corner and selecting "Parent Dashboard" from the dropdown list. 

 

Creating and Adding Child Accounts

You can create a new account for your child or link to your child's existing Khan Academy account by clicking Add a Child from the "Activity" and "Settings" pages on your Parent Dashboard. 

If your child does not have a Khan Academy account:

• If your child is under 13, you can create an account for them by choosing a username + password they can use to log in
  
• If they are above 13, you can send an invitation to their email address to sign up for an account on their own and connect you as their parent 

If your child already has a Khan Academy account: 

• You can send an invite to the email address connected to their Khan Academy account.
• If your child has a Khan Academy account, but does not have an email address attached to it, they will need to log into their account and invite you to be their parent on the "Teachers" section of their Learner Home. 

Managing Account Settings

From the "Settings" section of the Parent Dashboard, you can click Edit Settings to make adjustments to your child’s account if they are younger than 13 years old. If your child is 13 or older, they can adjust their own settings.

Create assignments for your child

From the Assignments tab you can create assignments for your child to complete on Khan Academy. This is optional, but is a great option for homeschooling, tutoring, summer work, or filling in knowledge gaps.

If you are wanting to monitor what your child is doing on Khan Academy at school or individual studies, you can do this from the Activity tab and skip the Assignments completely. 

Follow your child’s progress on Khan Academy

You can view your child’s progress on Khan Academy in 3 places:

1. The Activity Overview Report on the Activity tab
Click on your child’s name to view their activity in the courses across Khan Academy.  This includes work your child did at home and at school, broken down by Khan Academy course. 

2. The Individual Student Report from the Activity tab 
Click the person iconnext to you child's name to be taken directly to their Learner Home. Here you'll see additional progress info, and if applicable, their Khanmigo Chat History and Khanmigo settings page. 

 

3. The Assignment Scores report from the Assignments tab
If you have made assignments for your child, you can see the scores for them here.

Access the Khanmigo Parent Tools
If you have access to Khanmigo, you will see the Khanmigo tools tab on your Parent Dashboard. From here, you have access to the many Khanmigo tools designed for parents just like you. Our personal favorites are the "Refresh my Knowledge" and "Recommend Assignments" tools!
