Many school districts that serve students who are historically under-resourced have enrolled in Khan Academy Districts, including <span class=\"xn-location\">Detroit Public Schools Community<\/span> District, <span class=\"xn-location\">Trenton<\/span> Public Schools, <span class=\"xn-location\">Omaha<\/span> Public Schools and the Roswell Independent School District.<\/p>\n<p>Khan Academy&#8217;s second offering is <b>MAP Accelerator<\/b>, a personalized learning tool developed in partnership with NWEA. MAP Accelerator reduces the manual work of differentiating math instruction for teachers. The offering helps teachers generate a personalized learning plan for each student based on their MAP Growth results, and also provides data insights to district administrators and school leaders. MAP Accelerator districts include Glendale Unified School District, Pajaro Valley Unified School District, Madera Unified School District and Clark County Public Schools.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The information we are gathering as we enter the second year of partnership with Khan Academy and NWEA has been a valuable tool for our teachers and administrators especially during distance education,&#8221; said Dr. <span class=\"xn-person\">Jesus Jara<\/span>, superintendent of the Clark County School District, the fifth-largest school district in the country. &#8220;MAP Accelerator helps us support personalized learning and differentiated instruction for all our students.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>MAP Accelerator and Khan Academy Districts launched in fall 2019 with nine school district partners. <\/p>\n<p><b>&#8220;<\/b>Pajaro Valley Unified School District and Khan Academy have a similar mission\u00a0\u2014 we want students to be successful in their educational journey to ensure they are ready for college, career and life.
