The Juice Learning is...
An education company focused on enhancing young students' reading skills and critical thinking through daily news stories crafted by experienced educators, journalists, and technologists.
Their platform serves two key audiences: students, who engage directly with the content, and teachers/school districts, who fund access and use these resources to integrate current events into their curricula.
Boring lesson planning? 📚
Previous data showed low teacher engagement and story assignment rates on the platform. Teachers reported needing better content organization tools and clearer guidance for integrating The Juice into lesson plans.
Key pain points:
Weak incentives to motivate regular story assignments
No feedback system to track how teachers use content or identify their needs
Meet our User 👾
Goal
Improve teachers' lesson planning workflow by adding new features and optimizing the user experience.
DESIGN
