Intervention Description	The new database will be accessible from the board intranets and will be searchable based on subject, goal, and grade level. Current resources will be added by administrators and future resources may be submitted by anyone by vetted by administrators. The resources will be a mix of student activities, books for students and teachers, videos, podcasts, job aids, and more.

Audience Expectations	Intuitive and user-centered design that returns relevant, high-quality resources that can be access from the database. Know who to contact if have questions or need assistance with the resources.

Benefits	Resources are currently scarce and usually involve following external links. The intranet is not user-friendly and adds to the frustration of accessing provided resources. The database will ensure teachers use approved, high-quality resources and activities that are specific to their local community. Creating a simple, convenient experience for teachers should help with their motivation. There will be a large cost to build the database, but maintenance will be moderate.
