Organization (sort of)
By Debbie

I am an inclusion/resource teacher. I keep an enormous 3-ring binder for my data. It has tab dividers, one for each student, and in each section I keep everything from the modifications and accommodations page from the
IEP, tally sheets, testing data, to alphabet and number cards in it. My IEPs are kept separate in folders.
A friend of mine, however, keeps a small, 1-inch binder for each student. In it she keeps pretty much the same data for her students as I do. She doesn't like handling a big, bulky binder like I have and likes to be able to reach and grab Johnny's binder when assessing him and

not have to pull out a "Mother of All Binders" like I prefer. You'll have to try different ways and see what fits your style. You'll probably figure out what you DON'T like before you settle on what works for you.
