Optimum Organization - Teacher Binder

Another post in the same day, but I came across Ladybug and Fun in Room 4b Optimum Organization Linky and I wanted to join!

One of the things I created over the year and I'm setting up for next year is my Teacher Organization Binder. 

I love having my teacher organization binder for planning!  It saves a lot of time, because I just print out everything I need from our District's website ahead of time.  Our district resource website is a bit of a maze, so I know that I save time not having to back and search for those instructions, plans, etc.

Long term planner template using tables in MS Word.

I also keep my long term plans, monthly calendars, common assessment and student data all in my binder.  Again, I hate having to search for my papers, so having them in one convenient location saves me time when I want to plan, check student results, etc!

I talk about how to put together your OWN teacher planner in this link if you're interested!  

 There are a lot of teacher planner kits out on the TPT market too.  However, making your planner is something that depends a lot on your needs and what makes sense for you in the binder.  For example, I don't have my weekly plans in my binder because I have to leave my plans out for my Admin during the week.  It's easier if I have a separate binder for those.
