EducationTeaching Materials & Planning4HighTeacher$ implied

A kindergarten teacher with 3 years experience in 3rd grade is overwhelmed by the time spent preparing materials and lesson plans for multiple subjects, compounded by the low independence of kindergarten students and an inflexible curriculum that is not developmentally appropriate for her class, which includes many students with special needs.

Existing curriculum (HMH) is not developmentally appropriate for kindergarten and does not meet the needs of students with autism, ADHD, and other learning differences. Social media resources are overwhelming, color-coded, and not tailored to the teacher's specific context.
