My favorite organization tool would have to be the durable 3-ring binders. :)
Happiness settles into my heart being able to whole punch and organize all my information in binders I can keep at hand's reach in my classroom.
Your principal walks in and asks for your lesson plans, no problem they are clearly labeled and up to date! You need to show your Data Analyst your current benchmark scores, yep they have their own binder. You name it, you can make one!
The success to a binder collection follows:
1. Keep them Clearly Labeled
2. Purposeful, there is a clear purpose behind each binder
3. Updated binders (Every 3-6 weeks)
4. Manageable, make sure you don't over do the binders, some can be combined
5. Make them your own! Don't use a Behavior binder if you log your behavior else where, make it your own!
Tada! This is my beautiful creation for the 2014-2015 school year! |
