I am signed up as a coach. I go to the dashboard, click on the icon that says "search for content to assign" and it does not give me the option to assign it. It says I can start the practice like I am the student. I read how to assign, but that bar does not come up when I browse the assignments. Again, I've tried 10 times and it treats me like I'm the student and can start practice. ugh.. Please help.
Hi Michelle,
Have you enabled the coach role on your account?
To do this, go to your settings and scroll down to the section that says "Roles". Make sure that the "Teacher/Coach" box is checked and that you click save.
I believe you are also required to have created a least 1 class before creating assignments. If you haven't created a class yet, go to your coach dashboard and click "Add new class"
Let me know if you have any further questions!
Hi everyone,
Are you still experiencing issues with assigning content?
Please note that Khan Academy will mostly look the same for both you and your students. You will be able to view videos, articles, and exercises just like the students can. However, there will be a toolbar above the video that allows you to create the assignment.
We're also in the works of improving the Coach Dashboard to make creating individual assignments and assignments in bulk easier.

Hi David,
From the list of practice exercises, click on the one you want to assign:
This will open up the practice exercise, and an assignment toolbar will appear at the top of the screen:
The Coach Dashboard has also recently been updated to include some new functionality to make creating assignments easier.
