My favorite education resource is Khan Academy. It’s my favorite, because it offers a wide range of education content, parent coaching tips, mindset support, and career inspiration. And it does so … for free!
First, Khan Academy offers a broad variety of classes, for elementary through high school. Students can learn:
- Math with tutorials,
- Chemistry,
- Health & Medicine,
- Science & Engineering,
- Arts & Humanities,
- Test Prep,
- Computing, including coding and animation
- Economics,
- Finance, including home buying and capital markets
- Plus, College & Career Prep
In addition, Khan Academy provides coaching tips for parents!
Furthermore, if your child doesn’t need immediate school help, try the Growth Mindset course. A growth mindset will help with everything! This course is grounded in “the science behind the idea that ‘You can learn anything’.” (Check out books on it here.) Or, if your child is in high school and wants career inspiration, check out interviews with entrepreneurs and executives like:
- Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla Motors and SpaceX
- Angela Ahrendts, the Former CEO of Burberry and Former senior vice president of Retail at Apple, or
- Beth Schmidt, the Founder of Wishbone.org.
In conclusion, Khan Academy is my favorite education resource for parents. In fact, I think it’s a resource everyone should explore. It’s a good thing Khan has made it easy to try — check out their Web site or one of their apps — on iTunes and Google Play!
