organization
By teach4th

I teach 3 classes of science and 3 classes of math each day. I bought one of those shelving units that has 3sections or columns with 8 sections in each column. I labeled each section with a subject and day of the week.
I put any "worksheets, tests, papers, etc. that I will be using during the week in the proper day of the week section. I also label a section with each class's homeroom teacher's name and the word "file". After I grade and record the papers, I put the papers in these sections to make it easier for my assistant or myself to file. I also have one labeled extra work, newsletters, absent

work etc. This really helps keep my papers organized.
I do my lesson plans on the computer, so after I type them, I run a copy and keep it in a binder on my desk ( I also keep an extra copy in a file at home in case I have to check over or change my plans if I'm going to need a substitute.)
I could go on and on.....(some fellow teachers call me anal(in a good way)..LOL,,,If you need any other hints let me know. Most importantly, do what will work for you.
