Organized Teachers and Classroom

Organized Education

Many teachers through out the Atlanta Public School System seem to have a tough time when it comes to keep behavior problems down due to unorganized planning and effective classroom etiquette. I have noticed that the more organized the teacher is and the less problems she has inside the classroom. For example Ms. Cannon at North Atlanta high school has to be the most effective school teacher in the state. She is so well organized that kids sign in if they are late etc. which allows her to just concentrate on teaching. Here are a few steps that will help you in becoming and organized teacher.

1. Buy a binder to organize your paperwork. Find one that you really like since you'll carry it with your everywhere. Use dividers labeled "calendar," "gradebook," "lesson plans," "class info," "seating charts" and "miscellaneous." You can add other sections, if desired, but keep it manageable or your binder will become too bulky to carry. Make sure to create a nice cover or label--some way for you to quickly identify your notebook from any others laying around.

2. Add a pouch to your binder to hold essentials, such as pens and sticky notes. Use the sticky notes to jot quick notes to yourself or add things to your calendar or lesson plan quickly. Also add a plastic pocket to hold things that you need to file loose papers.
