My Teacher's Notebook for 2012-2013

As an educator, organization is crucial. I have seen some neat 3-ring notebooks that would work well with my size class. I'm beginning to correlate things that I currently use (donated, given by district, and things on pinterest) that I want to incorporate into my notebook.

This picture I'm including is just a sample of what the notebook would look like. I'm thinking one of the larger variety 3-ring notebooks.  The colored tabs and the typed cute font, will be appealing and cute.

I like this page in this teacher's notebook from Pinterest. A curriculum map or place to plan out the State Standards onto the months!!

This lesson plan format,I love. Its a single page and can be placed into a notebook. I might actually make a couple changes. I might keep this format for handing into work, but for my personal notebook (a how to improve the lesson. Things that went well and didn't).This was found on Pinterest as well.

 I'm going back and forth with the one above.  However.. I designed this one below. Now its not a completed example.. I will do one in the near future..

Subject: Date: Marking Period:	Lesson Objective: (Observable)
Lesson Essential Question:
Vocabulary Words Addressed in Lesson		Materials / Resources for  Lesson	Activating Strategy: Background Knowledge Pretest: Instruction:
Activity One: Differentiation:		Activity Two: Differentiation:		One on One – Classroom Teacher Para-educator:
Formative Assessment: In the class or outside for homework
Reflection of Lesson

This page below I found on Pinterest. (Which by the way, is an awesome resource!!!)  I'd adapt this for my classroom, but I love it!  Communicates with parents. Not to mention.. This gives a more pointed of how a child gets a E, S,N, and U for the class.  So many report cards, don't explain this well. So if the parent doesn't attend parent conferences they may not understand.

I would love to have one copy of this in the notebook in a section titled "If I'm out". This page could be photocopied to fill up the sub folder if emptied.

One section would be a student information page. At the start of the year, I would send this home to gather information. This I found on Pinterest as well.

The other sections I would incorporate into this notebook would be blank rubrics, and an area for related service contacts/other professionals. Due to the nature of my job. I need to at times contact related service, audiologists, and SLP's. If I get the job I'm hoping for, I will be working with several districts. This would be a good resource to keep in place.

Please feel free to comment. If your an educator, and there is a resource you think that would add to organization let me know. In the weeks ahead, I'll add resources that I've created that are not pinterest designs.
