- Split desk into “hard” side and “soft” side.
- Provide a binder with color-coded, tabbed subject areas. TRAIN students to put papers into appropriate sections.
- Use daily homework assignment sheet. Gradually work up to weekly. (Daily is less cluttered and easier to maintain)
- Provide a “while you were out” folder for Special Ed. students who are pulled out and may miss some instruction.
- Be sure to “catch up” with students who are out of the classroom and be sure that they get the necessary instruction to complete assignments.
- Visual mini-schedules.
- Provide a daily visual schedule on the board or in a place that is easily viewed in the classroom.
