During the development of Zeal, we incorporated a powerful feature called Goal Setting. This feature was designed to empower teachers by enabling them to set specific skills as goals for their students. To ensure its usability and effectiveness, we conducted several rounds of prototyping and testing with teachers.

In the initial prototype, teachers could seamlessly select a subject and receive suggested skills to set as goals for their students. The goal-setting process was deliberately kept simple, allowing teachers to easily understand and implement it. This initial version received positive feedback from teachers, encouraging us to further enhance the feature.
Building upon the feedback received, we expanded the goal-setting functionality by introducing a search feature and a grid view. These additions provided teachers with a wider range of skills to choose from and simplified the selection process.
Additionally, we implemented smart suggestion algorithms, which further optimized the feature by saving teachers valuable time when creating lesson plans tailored to each student's specific needs.
Overall, the Goal Setting feature in Zeal proved to be a valuable tool for teachers, enabling them to effectively track and improve their students' progress. Its intuitive interface, coupled with smart suggestions and streamlined selection options, made it an essential element in empowering teachers to deliver personalized education.
