A first-year 4th grade teacher is overwhelmed by disorganized curriculum resources, lack of communication, insufficient prep time, and severe classroom behavior challenges with no support, leading to burnout and questioning staying in teaching.

Workarounds Described

• Uses a collection of hyperlinks as curriculum, many of which are locked or deleted, requiring manual checking and workarounds
• Juggles multiple roles in the classroom (instruction, behavior intervention, individual support) with no support staff
• Lacks prep time, so must do all planning outside of contract hours

Implied Software Gaps

• Centralized curriculum management system with link validation and organization
• Behavior management and communication tool that engages students and tracks issues
• Differentiated instruction support to provide leveled materials and automated individual assistance
• Time-saving lesson planning tool that reduces prep burden
