Find Organised With a Teacher CoordinatorPosted by Stevenson Ho on April 22nd, 2021 If you're a teacher of today you'll know the school term involves juggling a lot more than Bunsen burners and exercise books filled with homework. With the increasing demands on your own time both in and from the classroom, something no more than picking up the incorrect timetable or misplacing a couple of notes amongst a desk of unorganised paperwork may lead to have a disorganised and scatty school year. There is however a straightforward solution to this which will come in the form of a teacher planner tailored to your individual needs. Besides, what better way is there to market organisational skills to students than to start with your own? School policy Teacher planners on the existing market go beyond the typical diary and can be found in handy portable sizes at prices which don't break the bank. Teachers can benefit from the bespoke nature of planners by reflecting their school's own policies and ethos in the planner design that may remain close at hand should teachers need to refer to them. Useful numbers and first aid tips may also be printed in. You never know when these will come in handy, particularly when taking students on class trips and educational visits. Schools can also choose to include sections in the planner for the curriculum and teacher training days, in which a member of staff has the capacity to make his or her own notes. Planning read more Planning lessons is obviously an essential aspect of teaching and by including them in a special section of the planner, staff can simply refer back to previous lessons for revision classes or one-to-one tutorials with students. Teachers who are covering another's class can also benefit from access lesson plans to ensure students' learning is not disrupted because of unavoidable staff absence. Teachers' timetables can become highly complex so a simple and clear design of the planner can include things like lesson times, staff meetings, consultations with students (including detention!) and in addition with parents. Homework The planner will also enable an effective method of organising how and when teachers mark homework and projects, enabling teachers to supply prompt and constructive feedback to their students. Students can also benefit from their own planners which can include pages stating school policy on areas such as bullying and including help lines and encouragement to talk with staff. They are also able to set personal targets and effectively manage their homework using tailored pages which correspond to a school's individual term dates. A school may also include in the design pages with healthy lifestyle ideas to enhance concentration. Revision National and international maps and science pages including annotated diagrams of the periodic table and solar system, which students get access to on a daily basis, can certainly provide as revision aids. Pages specially created for exam periods mean students will be able to fill in their own revision schedules into manageable chunks. This might particularly help students resist the temptation to generate wonderfully doodled timetables of their own as a form of procrastination (we've all been there).Like it? Share it!
