Classroom organization

With a classroom full of energetic kids, it's a challenge to keep up on the business side of running a classroom. But don't let this aspect of your job weigh you down. Institute a few rules to help you stay on top of paperwork. Find one good place to put all papers and notes that have to be dealt with today, and use it only for your pressing to-do items. Then go through the stack each and every day. Don't let a pile up occur. A little bit of time every day is less of a time commitment than a big pile once a week. Don't let unnecessary papers pile up. Learn to throw things away. And last, but not least, if you don't get things taken care of once in a while, give yourself a break. Get re-organized, amend your system and begin again.
