goals?
On a post-it-note, write
what you hope to gain
from today’s presentation.
3. Objective:
By the conclusion of this presentation we
will share tips and tricks to help organize
ourselves, our classrooms, and our
students.
4. 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!)
5. 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!
6. Daily Procedures

Post everything…
