My Project

My method of student organization focuses on a binder method or organization. My students organize all classroom handouts/ time cards into a binder. I store the binders in my classroom on a back shelf. Students keep materials for the current unit in a folder, and when the unit is finished, the materials are added to the binder.

Leadership class is required to keep track of hours during classroom time along with outside of class time.

Each section of the binder, the students will keep documentation on a "time card." We have 6 categories that allow for students to log hours on paper. This system allows them to keep track and log hours into a Civic Engagement program for senior scholarships
