A special education teacher is overwhelmed by paperwork and data tracking requirements for 16 students with multiple IEP goals each, while also providing inclusion support, managing schedules, and handling administrative tasks, leading to unsustainable workload and no time for planning or documentation.

Existing IEP/data systems are not integrated with the teacher's workflow; they require manual data entry and do not reduce the burden of frequent data collection, nor do they automate progress monitoring or streamline paperwork for inclusion settings.
