Today I wanted to talk about setting up my binders. This year I am taking a different route and am going to have two binders: one for me and one for student data.
Last year I had one large binder with my stuff and student data in it and my lesson plans in another. It worked, but I didn't just love it. This year I hope this change will make finding and organizing paperwork and documentation a little easier.
First, let me show you the different parts of my teacher binder:
1) Small Group Instruction - This is where I will keep small group documentation and where I document which groups I work with.
2) Dominee Data & Info - We have several Dominee forms and copies of the student agreement sheet that I will keep here.
3) Yearly Calendar - This will hold our school district calendar. I am always needing to look at dates, so I think this addition to my binder will be helpful.
4) Faculty Meeting Notes - Self explanatory
5) PLC Meeting Notes - Again, self explanatory
6) Lesson Plans - Our lesson plans are printed off weekly. We use Oncourse Systems and I love it!
7) MAP Testing - This will hold forms related to our computerized MAP tests.
1) Gold Form - This is a form we use as an entire school. At the top it has student information that the parent fills out. At the bottom we have a place to document parent communication.
2) Individual MAP scores
3) Individual Dominee data
I love your binders! The colors are great and so is your way of organization!

Yep, I love how organized you are too! This is my goal this summer. I've already been putting math stations into binders. Slowly working on my lesson plans too. I like the student data binder too... I have a feeling that this is something I'll definitely be needing in the next few years... :)
