One of the most common topics being discussed in Facebook groups is how to stay organized when teaching in a departmentalized setting. How do you keep track of graded papers and missing assignments? How do you manage and share supplies between multiple classes? These are questions you must consider before heading into the new school year. Of course, there are a few perks to being departmentalized. Because you have fewer subjects to teach, planning is much easier. But there are also some challenges that come along with teaching multiple classes. More students means more papers and grades to keep track of, so having an organizational system is extremely important.  On the student end, this may be the first time they are switching classes. So, it’s essential you have systems in place that help your students become organized. While some students are organized by nature, others are not and need to be taught.
