In this May 15, 2025 webinar, panel of teachers and administrators from Paradise Valley Unified School District joined Khan Academy’s Professional Learning Specialist, Jennifer Cummings, for a conversation about how the district connected AI to district-wide goals around Algebra readiness and student engagement.
You’ll hear how they:
• Built teacher buy-in through structured PD, not one-off sessions
• Used Khanmigo to differentiate instruction in math and support students’ college and career goals through test prep.
If you’re thinking about AI in your district—but want it to serve your core academic priorities, not distract from them—this conversation is for you.

In celebration of Mother’s Day, we honor a special woman who became a mother in the least likely of places. Fela Abramowicz was living in a make-shift tent city in the forest with the Bielski partisans, a group of Jewish resistance fighters that her late husband served in. There in the forest, she gave birth to her daughter with the help of a community member who knew how to deliver the baby.
In this clip, she describes her unique entry into motherhood and the immense joy she felt bringing new life into the world amidst such tragedy and death.
Later in the interview, Abramowicz shows the camera a photo of her now-grown daughter: “She is the one who was born in the Bielski Otriad, and survived and became a very accomplished young lady. I’m very proud of her."

Readers, we’re digging into those two most important questions: "what’s happening?” and “why is it happening?”
Today, we’re going to be talking about explaining ideas in an informational text. And an informational, just like it sounds, is a text that gives you information—that could be information about science, history, or some other subject.

Today we honor VE Day, a day that commemorates the surrender of all German military operations in 1945. Arnost Graumann was both a survivor of the Holocaust and later a liberator with the British Army. He was interviewed in 1988, in Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom. In this clip from his testimony, he talks about the day the war ended. He recalls the sights, sounds, and feelings he and his fellow soldiers experienced.
Graumann was born on December 18, 1919 in Vienna, Austria. After seeing the troubling rise in antisemitism, Arnost escaped to London and joined the British army. Arnost’s unit participated in the invasion of France on June 6, 1944 and was in Dunkirk on May 8, 1945.

AI promises transformative business value but making it work is challenging—particularly due to data issues. Leaders investing in AI initiatives often encounter unexpected roadblocks: biased outputs, unreliable predictions, and regulatory risks—all stemming from untrustworthy data. Without strong data integrity—including data governance, quality, and observability—AI models can amplify business risk instead of delivering results.
In this panel discussion, our experts will tackle the core challenges that prevent AI from achieving its full potential. This conversation will provide strategic insights for business and data leaders, including:
Why AI initiatives struggle due to hidden data governance and quality gaps.
How poor data quality erodes trust in AI-driven business decisions.
The growing risk of AI bias, compliance failures, and operational inefficiencies.
Actionable steps to build an AI-ready data foundation that delivers business value.
Join us as we discuss real-world strategies that leading organizations are using to ensure their AI investments drive measurable outcomes. If you’re responsible for AI, data, or digital transformation, this discussion will equip you with the knowledge to turn AI challenges into competitive advantage.
