Problem Description

Every teacher creates their own lesson plans from scratch, even though we're teaching the same curriculum. There's no centralized repository to share resources, activities, or assessments. New teachers especially struggle because they can't benefit from experienced teachers' materials. We're all reinventing the wheel and it's incredibly inefficient.

Current Workaround

Created a shared drive folder but it's disorganized, hard to search, and most teachers don't contribute to it.

New teachers get hit hardest by this. They are expected to deliver the same quality, but they do not have access to the informal knowledge that experienced teachers have. It creates unnecessary stress and inconsistent student experience across classes.

Every teacher rebuilding the same lesson from scratch is exactly what we see too. It is not that people do not want to share, it is that there is no obvious place where materials live, so everyone just defaults to their own folder system.
