A first-grade teacher struggles to efficiently track learning outcomes and behavioral observations across multiple subjects because their Google Sheets setup makes it hard to see same-day assessments or a single student's complete record.

Existing spreadsheet-based tracking makes it difficult to view assessments from multiple subjects on the same day or to consolidate all data for an individual student.
