I've been waiting almost three years for what we're launching in
@magicschoolai this week.
I once taught 7th grade social studies in Georgia. I was given a set of educational standards and no textbooks, curricular resources, or guide from the teacher before me to help my students master them. I was the only teacher in my school building teaching the subject, too.
This is the reality for more teachers than you might imagine. It's pretty rare that teachers get meaningful resources outside of core subjects like Math and English (and even those aren't guaranteed either).
I think I worked more hours than I ever have in my life during that year. Countless hours frankensteining content from the internet and whatever resources I could find. I aligned every lesson as well as I could to the standard and objective for the day.
My students were the top performing in the city schools on the state exam that year. I'm so deeply proud of that year, and also wouldn't wish that amount of work on anyone.
MagicSchool changes that calculus. This week, what we'll launch would have both saved me a ton of time as a social studies teacher and helped with student engagement in my classroom.
Stay tuned!
