Teacher's Guide to Khanmigo

Khanmigo's classroom features are aimed at teachers, but Khan Academy structures access at the school/district level rather than leaving it to an individual teacher's account. This guide explains what that means day to day.

How classroom access actually works

• Khan Academy documentation indicates individual teachers cannot simply enable Khanmigo access for their students on their own initiative; classroom-level student access is provisioned through a school or district implementation.
• Teachers can typically use Khanmigo's teacher-facing tools (e.g., lesson planning, feedback assistance) more readily than they can unilaterally grant students AI-tutor access — confirm your specific school's rollout status with your administrator.
• If your school or district has a Khan Academy partnership, check with your IT/curriculum office about which Khanmigo features (student tutor vs. teacher tools) are actually turned on for your account.
• Any student use of Khanmigo's AI features must fit within Khan Academy's Terms of Service requirement that under-18 AI use be supervised by an authorized adult, with student accounts tied to the school's authorized personnel account.

Classroom practices SafeGradeAI recommends

• Model good prompting with the whole class before independent use, and set explicit expectations that Khanmigo is a tutor, not an answer key — see the homework guide.
• Tell students explicitly not to enter personal information into Khanmigo, consistent with Khan Academy's own privacy guidance.
• Use any administrator reporting or activity-monitoring tools your district's Khanmigo implementation provides, referenced on Khan Academy's Districts pricing page, to spot-check usage patterns.
• Coordinate with families using the parent guide so home and school expectations match.

What SafeGradeAI recommends

• Route any request to expand Khanmigo access through your school or district administrator rather than attempting an individual workaround.
• Build a short in-class norm-setting session before first use (see family and classroom rules for a starter list).
• Revisit the is-it-safe guide each year, since Khan Academy's AI features and policies continue to evolve.
