I recently interviewed for a teaching position on a temporary teacher's certificate in Florida. My education background is Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and I spent 26 years in the defense industry. Teaching in the classroom is quite challenging as a second career and I was wondering if Khan Academy has specific resources for the newbies to the teaching environment. Potentially I could be teaching college level Calculus, and Precalculus. I need to brush up on my Calculus. Thank you in advance for any help provided.

Hi Bob,

Welcome to Khan Academy! The "Get ready" courses for Precalculus and AP (college-level) Calculus may be helpful in brushing up on those areas before going on to the Precalculus and AP Calculus courses. The Get Ready for Precalculus course can be found here: https://www.khanacademy.org/math/get-ready-for-precalculus, and the Get Ready for AP Calculus course can be found here: https://www.khanacademy.org/math/get-ready-for-ap-calc. Taking the course challenges before going through the lessons in the course can help determine what you already know and what you may need to review more.

If you're looking to use Khan Academy for teaching, the Help Center has some great articles on how to use the Coach features here: https://support.khanacademy.org/hc/en-us/categories/200175820-For-Teachers. The Khan for Educators section can also help provide an introduction to the content on the site and how to use it in the classroom: https://www.khanacademy.org/khan-for-educators/k4e-us-demo.

I hope this helps! Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.
