How can we help?

One problem I have being a Canadian educator is connecting our curriculum with your content. As our standards don't quite align with your conent in missions. I would love to have the capabilities of pre-selecting skills to put within a mission. If I was able to do this, I could also use Khan more effectively with my students on an Individualized Education Plan. For example, I might place my class on the arithmetic mission, but 3 of my 26 students are not working at grade level and shouldn't be assigned some of the content in that mission. When they cannot achieve 100%, it's hard to even begin them on a mission. Kind of setting them up to be unsuccessful.

As part of our Support Community improvement project, we’re preserving inactive posts that have historical or community value and closing them to new comments. This is one of them!

If this post covers a topic that you’re interested in discussing with the community or requests a feature you’d like to see on Khan Academy, you can try to find an active post about it and add your thoughts (or feel free or create a new post if it doesn’t yet exist in the forum).

I have exactly the same request but from a British School in Spain. I think that this is particularly important with weaker pupils who find it difficult to make progress as the mission keeps setting questions that are too difficult for them.

Same is true of those in the USA who have alternative (remedial) classes.

EDIT:

You can add skills to the mission (Only sklils which are in the area of math you chose) by clicking the squares at the left, and remove skills by clicking "Remove" below the skill name. While not ideal, it is very useful for constructing missions, and can be used by teachers pretty effectively in my opinion.

Still, I think that having a way to mitch-match skills from different sections of math and sharing what you build could be a really useful system for schools.

(I removed the original comment because my edit makes it obsolete)
