A first-year special education teacher is overwhelmed by the demands of lesson planning, differentiating instruction for students at multiple levels, and managing IEP data and due dates, leading to burnout and consideration of leaving teaching.
Existing solutions like mentors and shared resources from colleagues are insufficient because they are not scalable and do not address the core issues of lesson planning, differentiation, and IEP data management.
Workarounds Described
- uses a long to-do list to track tasks and due dates
- relies on one helpful teacher and mentor for shared resources
Implied Software Gaps
