The Post-ESSER Playbook for Elementary Administrators
The relief funding is gone.
Here's what's actually worth keeping.
A practical breakdown of five free and low-cost tools built to outlast ESSER — what each one does, what the evidence says, and how to fund what comes next.

What's Inside?
  • The "built to last" test
  • Nine low-to-no cost tools built to last
  • Five questions to ask before you scale anything
  • A funding roadmap
  • A guide to auditing your current tech stack

One of the tools inside is already free in your classrooms.

Khan Academy Kids is free for every family and teacher, no exceptions. For schools and districts ready to scale, Khan Academy Kids for Schools adds a web-based teacher dashboard, cross-classroom and district-level reporting, a dedicated implementation manager, and professional learning built around your schedule.

  • Aligned to standards your team already teaches to, including the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework and Common Core
  • Backed by research — a University of Massachusetts Amherst randomized controlled trial found meaningful pre-literacy gains for preschoolers using the app, comparable to dozens of one-on-one tutoring sessions
  • Free for Two Years for publicly funded programs with PreK classrooms, resources and support included
"We have seen higher achievement on our iReady benchmark assessments and we do really think that it is in part to Khan Kids." — Director of Elementary Curriculum, Hobart City Schools
