Details

This research project examines how teachers across K-12 education manage their administrative workload and utilize technology in their daily work.


Through structured 25-minute interviews, we will gather insights about:

  1. Current administrative challenges faced by teachers
  2. Technology tools currently in use and their effectiveness
  3. Gaps in existing solutions and opportunities for improvement


The findings will inform Edventive's product development and ensure our solutions directly address teachers' most pressing needs.


Interns will be responsible for scheduling and conducting interviews, followed by systematic analysis to identify patterns and actionable insights.

Deliverables

The project will culminate in a brief report detailing the findings from the teacher interviews.


This report will include a summary of the challenges identified, an overview of the tech tools currently in use, and recommendations for potential improvements.


Expected outcomes include:

  • A detailed understanding of teacher pain points across grade levels
  • Assessment of current technology adoption and preferences
  • Clear recommendations for product feature prioritization
