Provide a container for the student's belongings
Why should I do it:
Provides students a separate place for his/her assignments and class material
Provides a student struggling with attention, organization, time management issues with a separate area away from others
When should I do it:
When a student has attention, organization, time management difficulties
How do I do it:
Obtain a container (milk crate, box, plastic bin, etc.) and place the student’s materials in it separated into subject areas.
Place the container inside the classroom at the beginning stages.
If student continues to have difficulties with organization, you can move the crate outside the classroom so student can take a break to go retrieve his/her belongings.
Evaluate the system with the student on a weekly basis.
Provide praise when student can use the took effectively
Provide encouragement when student shows signs of struggle
