Organization in the Classroom Increases Student Productivity
Posted by admin | Posted in Uncategorized | Posted on 15-05-2009
Classroom organization has lately become the last priority in most teachers’ to-do lists. Quite frankly, Student grades often reflect student organization so low grades would mean lack of order in the area where order is most beneficial.
The following are some possible ways for a teacher to organize the classroom:
Color coding. It is a great visual tool for student organization. As most students are visual learners, relating classroom and study tasks with color will yield more student productivity. With this process comes consistence— color coding will only become successful when it becomes a habit.
Using a Homework Folder. The two pockets of the folder will provide easy organization for students. On the left side, students should put any worksheets or assignments that need to be completed for homework. Once completed, each piece of homework goes directly in the pocket on the right. This organization method will help students keep all their homework together in one place and keep track of to-do’s and other important tasks.
Proper Use of Student Agenda. A student agenda is a tool that teachers can use to their advantage. This is the perfect opportunity to provide direct instruction in time management and organization. It is best for the student and for people assisting the students in their studies, for them to know what to do and where the students stand in class.
It is within a classroom that a student finds motivation to do more and to work harder—
Proper classroom organization would be one of those necessary moving forces to produce better student output.
