EducationAssessment & Feedback3MediumTeacher$ implied

An 8th-grade teacher needs to manually collect, organize, and present student performance data to administrators without using classroom technology, as part of a deliberate low-tech teaching approach.

Existing ed-tech solutions assume screen-based student input; there is no easy way to digitally capture and analyze data from paper-based, in-class activities without adding teacher workload or reverting to high-tech methods.
