Managing materials

My cooperating teacher has been teaching 6th grade for over 10 years. She has tried many different ways to organize her materials. The way that works the best for her is to use binders. She puts all her notes and materials for the section she is currently teaching in a binder. That way she knows where all her stuff is for that subject. She can pull the binder off the shelf and find worksheets, visual aids, experiments or anything else she needs. Everything is in sheet protectors and whatever she needs goes back into the sheet protectors when she is done.
