While this functionality is new to the Khan Academy site, the skills playlists have been developed over several years in close collaboration with NWEA. Until now, these recommended playlists have been made available to teachers via a pdf download from NWEA\u2019s website. This prototype attempts to streamline and facilitate that process for teachers.
