EducationSoftware Integration & Compatibility4HighTeacher$ implied

First-year teacher is overwhelmed by managing multiple disconnected digital tools (Canvas LMS and PowerSchool gradebook) that do not sync, leading to excessive time spent on administrative tasks and compounding stress from difficult student behavior and lack of training.

The two systems are not integrated, forcing manual duplication of work and causing confusion. The teacher lacks training on these tools, which were not covered in college preparation, leading to inefficiency and feelings of incompetence.
