During my time as the Founding Designer at Zeal, one of our main goals was to empower teachers and parents by providing them with valuable insights into their students' progress and identifying areas where additional support was needed. We put a strong emphasis on "Teaching With Data" and worked diligently to create effective data interfaces for teachers.

Our approach to designing the data interfaces for teachers at Zeal was heavily influenced by our commitment to enabling teachers to make informed decisions in real time. We understood the importance of creating user-friendly yet comprehensive tools that would allow teachers to easily access and understand the data.

To achieve this, we embarked on an iterative process, constantly seeking feedback from teachers and incorporating their input into our designs. By spending significant time in classrooms each week, we were able to quickly iterate and adapt our interfaces based on the needs and preferences of teachers.

The evolution of our data interfaces manifested in various forms, including class reports, data charts, and personalized suggestions for teachers. Our aim was to strike a balance between providing teachers with a quick overview of student progress and providing in-depth data that would facilitate data-driven decision-making.

We also focused on ensuring that the data interfaces were visually engaging and easy to interpret. We utilized intuitive visualizations, color coding, and other design elements to make the data visually appealing and digestible. The goal was to provide teachers with a glanceable interface that would equip them with the necessary insights to address specific learning gaps effectively.

Throughout this process, we worked closely with teachers to understand their workflow, pain points, and goals. Their invaluable feedback and collaboration allowed us to refine and improve our data interfaces over time.

Overall, at Zeal, we strived to create data interfaces that empowered teachers by providing them with actionable insights and facilitating data-driven instruction. Through constant iterative design, collaboration with teachers, and a commitment to making data accessible and understandable, we developed interfaces that supported teachers in their mission to offer the best possible education to their students.
