EducationTraining & Onboarding3MediumTeacher
A teacher wants to host student teachers but cannot find the university applications to become a host teacher, as search engines and AI tools confuse her intent with graduate program applications.
There is no centralized or easily searchable platform for teachers to find and apply to host student teachers across different universities; search engines and AI tools misinterpret the query, and district changes break existing connections.
