SWITCH TO COACH DEMO

close all but one.

Go to khanacademy.org/coach/demo

Click the blue or green ACCESS button.

Look for this purple bar at the top of your screen. If

you don’t see it, ask for help.

The Coach Demo is a fake account we’ve created so that you can explore

coach reports for a group of active students. The students in this account

are all Khan Academy employees. You might find that these “students”

work at odd hours, while some are far more active than others. Keep in

mind that your students’ information may look a bit different.
