My Project

Our school is conducting an organization initiative that is geared toward improving organizational skills building-wide. In a recent survey of 8th grade students, they shared the benefit of having separate pocket folders for each of their classes in their binder. Some of the goals of the initiative include improving classroom preparedness/readiness by using the binder system and to teach/develop the skill of prioritization to improve decision making. Building strong organizational skills is essential to preparing students to be future leaders. These folders will go a long way to ensure that our students are appropriately dividing coursework and maintaining an orderly binder.
