EducationTeaching Materials & Planning4HighTeacher$ implied

A first-year high school social studies teacher is overwhelmed by the workload of creating content for three 90-minute class preps, working late into the night and feeling unable to get ahead.

Existing resources are insufficient for creating engaging, ready-to-use content for 90-minute classes across multiple preps; they require significant adaptation and still leave the teacher working until 10pm.
