EducationTraining & Onboarding4HighTeacher$ implied

A brand new middle school teacher starting 3 weeks into the year is overwhelmed with lesson planning for two subjects, required district training, and unclear expectations, feeling like they are drowning.

Existing solutions are fragmented and not tailored: the online curriculum is generic, shared materials are not organized for a new teacher's specific situation, and there's no integrated way to handle training, pacing, and lesson planning simultaneously.
