Time & Material Management for both students and teacher:
- Growing up, I always loved when teachers color-coded their materials. Of course, it was upsetting that I couldn't use the cool Lisa Frank binders my mom bought me, but looking back on it now, those color coded materials truly helped me stay organized and on top of my school work. Even to this day I color-code my college notebooks. That being said, I want to color code materials for each subject in the classroom. For example: all materials for math would be green, all ELA materials would be red, and so on and so forth.
- Supply Management: Since students tend to misplace their pencils, glue sticks, scissors, you name it, various supply management techniques will be implemented. There will be lost and found buckets, spare pencils, pencils that are already sharpened so students can place their unsharpened/dull pencil in the bin and replace it with a sharp one so no students are distracted by the pencil sharpener. Also, a materials manager will be designated each day to ensure that all materials are distributed and collected when necessary. (Health & Physical Education: Standard 3)

- Classroom Jobs: Classroom jobs not only help students feel important and included, but they help accomplish tasks much more effectively. For instance, if one or two students help hand out papers, the classroom teacher doesn't have to spend two minutes handing them out when he/she could be teaching. Classroom jobs will include: Line leader, caboose, door holder, pencil sharpener, paper distribution, walkie talkie handlers, etc. (Health & Physical Education: Standard 2)
- All activities/management techniques on this page align with NCSS Standards III & IV.
