![Page 4: Organization presentation by vann lassiter](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051514/5482a115b4af9f31228b464b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
WHY? Teachers and students spend more time on-task
Behavior issues & discipline problems are reduced
Organized classrooms produce organized minds (i.e. less stress)
If you don’t plan…THEY will
(i.e. I would rather manage than discipline!)

What’s my name? Create a nameplate for your desk. It should include your
name written in any style and a small picture which represents
your mood, hobbies, or personality. Be creative!

Setting the Tone Get to know your students immediately…more than
just their names!
Have students create personal nameplates. Create seating charts…label assigned seats
before students arrive. Take roll later…begin class with an activity!
Incorporate roll taking into the lesson. Know what makes them tick and celebrate the
small stuff (birthdays, winnings, positions, etc.).

“Early in my career I felt that organization would destroy my creativity. Whereas now, I feel the opposite. Discipline is the concrete that allows you to be
creative.” ~Verna Gibson

Handling Papers Teachers Go Through Mounds of Paper…Handle It Once!
Establish a place for students to turn in/pick up assignments...
File drawers
Crates with folders
Large baskets
Mailboxes
Magazine racks
Hanging clips on the side of student desks
Clipboards (good for class outside)
![Page 26: Organization presentation by vann lassiter](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051514/5482a115b4af9f31228b464b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Color Code Files…
Use different folders for each assignment. Use folders or notebooks for originals and parent
documentation. Select a different color for each subject or
period. Color code by rows. Create an “end of year” folder using a “special
folder.” Establish folders for each day of the week. Great
for substitutes!

Handling Papers Work smarter…Not harder!
Have students highlight their names on assignments.
Try a rolodex file folder when traveling with papers.
Use hanging folders for student portfolios.
Establish a “new student” file. There is always one late arrival.
Use magnets to place missing work on the side of student desks or to the board.
![Page 32: Organization presentation by vann lassiter](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051514/5482a115b4af9f31228b464b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Handling Papers Work smarter…Not harder!
Assign students as “The Catcher” to help students who were absent.
Designate 1 day a week as “feedback day” to return papers.
Designate a student as the “super filer.”
If you haven’t looked at a paper in more than a year, throw it away.
![Page 33: Organization presentation by vann lassiter](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051514/5482a115b4af9f31228b464b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Handling Papers “It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan.” ~ Roosevelt
Laminate a copy of your class roster. Use and reuse it.
Save copies electronically. Create a computer filing system. Have a back-up copy.
Label everything.
![Page 34: Organization presentation by vann lassiter](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051514/5482a115b4af9f31228b464b/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Grade books & Plan books
Establish a grading/recording system that works for you.
Use eSIS and print copies. Use a physical gradebook. Organize by students first name Use online help (mygradebook, quia, etc.) You don’t have to grade everything!
Plan your way – use planbooks, a spiral notebook, PowerPoint, or MS Word.
Leave with a clean desk.
