A first-year high school theatre teacher is expected to rebuild the drama program while being compared to a beloved predecessor and judged by a checklist of expectations, and is overwhelmed by an unrealistic schedule of directing three shows a year with only three rehearsals every two weeks due to scheduling conflicts.
Existing tools like generic school scheduling software do not account for the complex and conflicting extracurricular schedules across multiple performing arts groups and sports, nor do they manage stakeholder expectations or compare performance to previous teachers.
Workarounds Described
- Uses personal judgment to try to coordinate schedules without a dedicated tool
- Relies on word-of-mouth and individual conversations to understand expectations
Implied Software Gaps
- Rehearsal scheduling software that integrates with multiple activity calendars and color guard/marching band schedules
- Communication platform that centralizes updates and reduces the need for one-on-one meetings
