Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

The Teacher App aims to create a virtual one-stop-hub for all teachers and their needs. We want teachers to access the mental health services and resources they need at any given time so that they feel supported enough to be there for their students.


The main goal of the project is to track what needs are coming up most within potential users of the App, which programs and resources that we offer are needed and appreciated, and where we need to focus our attention going forward.

What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

We envision this project to include but not be limited to:

  • Recruiting participants
  • Interviewing teachers, principals, education workers, students, on their experiences in the field.
  • Working with a team to analyze data collected, and report on it so it’s digestible to stakeholders.


Students will need to submit the number of interviews they conducted and the presentation they delivered to our teams and stakeholders. Time spent on recruitment, interviews, and reporting must match up to 5 hours per week during their 80-hour internship.

About the company

Prioritizing Mental Health Education. We are designing a tool that aims to connect teachers across Canada with the support they need to build resiliency within themselves and their students. The Teacher App serves to curate a hub for Canadian teachers where they can feel anchored in order to best support their students in their education. This will serve as a tool that offers teachers access to crucial resources, professional mental health services, and connection with other teachers and classrooms across Canada. Teachers deserve accessible, affordable, and appropriate support for their needs both inside and outside the classroom. What is currently available today is not sufficient for our teachers to thrive in their workplace, let alone our students.
