Project Overview

The Problem

Lesson planning is time-consuming and overwhelming. This forces teachers to manage multiple resources while meeting standards, leading to stress and inefficiency.

The Solution

Teacher's Toolbox is a mobile app that simplifies lesson planning, providing Pre-K to Elementary teachers with compliant templates, creative ideas, and a collaborative space—all in one place.

User Flow

To maximize efficiency, the design focuses on a user path where teachers browse lesson plans, save weekly guides, and see state requirement alignments. Customization would be added in the next development phase.

Style Guide

Teacher’s Toolbox is an app designed for teachers to help them plan for children’s educational needs. Therefore, I wanted to balance playful, child-like aesthetics and professionalism through colour, fonts, and imagery.

Color Palette

Dark blue adds professionalism and anchors the design, while bright blue and green highlight call-to-action elements like buttons and headers.

Typography

The Inter font was chosen for its clean, modern look and excellent readability. This san-serif font conveys a friendly, approachable feel, making it well-suited for an educational platform.

Logos

The Teacher’s Toolbox app serves as a central hub for curriculum development, a concept visually reinforced by the toolbox graphic. The logo’s font blends a classic sans-serif style with a playful touch, balancing professionalism with creativity.

Wireframe Evolution

Following thorough research, initial wireframes were created to establish structure and usability. Iterative testing refined navigation and functionality, ensuring an intuitive experience. Through multiple design phases, usability considerations shaped the final product, balancing clarity, efficiency, and engagement.

Bringing the Vision to Life

The priority was to ensure Teacher’s Toolbox felt intuitive and met the needs of educators. Maintaining a cohesive design with a clear structure creates a seamless experience, making lesson planning more efficient and accessible.
