I have a folder for each day of the week so I can put my plan and items needed each day.  I also use Google Slides and create a weekly agenda that students can access through Canvas so they know what is going on each day and they can check it if they are gone.

If I know I have to be gone from school, I video my lesson ahead of time so students can still watch the notes and we don't miss any class time and I don't have to worry about the sub teaching them the way I would want them to learn it.

I use GoogleForms for a weekly check on what students are doing on homework that is reviewed daily, but not collected. The responses are accumulated in a spreadsheet that is easily printed & checked, Conditional formatting can also be used to identify key words/numbers that should be present.

We use "outcomes" in Canvas ("outcome" = one line of a rubric; we have an outcome created for every standard). Because the outcomes/rubrics are already very detailed, it requires one click for students to receive helpful feedback. When giving written feedback, I continually add to a master "bank" of common written feedback so I can just copy, paste, and then delete what I don't need for that student. However, once I've given the same piece of feedback to the majority of my students, I stop giving that feedback, pull a student example, and begin the next day's lesson with "My favorite no" or some quick verbal feedback to the whole class.

I use the TabCloud extension on my toolbar, and it acts like a "folder" to save common tabs.  For example, I have a section called "Daily tabs" and one called "daily meetings."  When I turn on my computer in the AM, I click "Daily tabs" and all tabs open for me at once (PowerSchool, Canvas, email, etc.)  This is also GREAT for students to use while working on a research project. :)

I give students classroom jobs, whether it is handing out papers, changing the calendar, or turning the lights on or off for me. There are others, but those are the three I use most. When they complete their job, the receive a participation point.

For IEP writing folks, I open the IEP system on 2 different tabs so I can easily look at the past IEP and the new IEP I am writing at the same time. I also can easily cut and paste certain areas too

Using Section Leaders (student leaders/mentors) to lead group work and encourage leadership.

My continual struggle is to take the time to "slow down" and make sure all students are successful. I lose kids when I push to far to fast. I have tried to slow done the amount of assignments per quarter to accommodate greater skill/practice in class (formative) and less quizzing (summative).

With so many different reading sections and supports, some daily, some every other day, I have discovered having student folders and notebooks organized by periods, A and B Day, and color coded by reading support has been helpful.  (We do a lot of paper/pencil activities in reading support.) These folders and notebooks never leave the room so students ALWAYS have what they need.  And when I need to check the progress of students, all the items I need are in the individual folders.  It's a lot of work to set up at the beginning of the year, but well worth it in the long run.

Sometimes class gets moving and I get doing things and forget to do the kind of mundane things around the room, like closing the window at the end of the day or turning off the lights during a fire alarm. I usually put sticky notes on my desktop to remind myself not to forget these things and have found it helpful!

A concern is one I have had for 29 years- trying to find time to reach students who are not in class. Be it band lessons, illness, appointments time is so hard in the day to find to work with students.

Steve Dougherty and I use Canvas quizzes for formative assessments as much as possible.  It makes grading and student data analysis much easier and faster.

We  put our agendas, learning targets,  standards, important links, visuals, etc. on a google presentation.  Each day it is all in one place, and we can update it as needed.
Help! Keeping track of all the shared docs, emails, surveys, etc.
Since projects require so much time to grade,our question to colleagues might be how to grade them more efficiently. Another question we have is how to encourage creativity and passion when all our time is spent on meeting standards, reteaching, reassessing etc.
Having the attitude that it is impossible to do everything so it is most healthy and smarter to prioritize and not sweat the small stuff.

# data[].attributes.body
I use the same template every day for my agenda, essential question, learning targets, and standards. I only have to go in and change the agenda and corresponding learning targets every day, rather than making an entirely new presentation

# data[].attributes.body
Use a "stoplight" poster next to your door, and have students put their name card (Name is on the back so students cannot see) as they leave the room on the appropriate "light"...

Red: I did not learn today's target(s) and need further instruction...I will contact the teacher with my questions

Yellow:  I am unclear about today's learning target(s), and need further clarification.  I will review my notes and contact the teacher if needed

Green: I understand today's learning target(s) and am prepared to move on to the next steps.

Allows you to check for needs on reteaching whole group vs. guided instruction next class vs. moving forward to next lesson.

I use folders created in my email to organize my emails. I also have a template I use daily as both an agenda and organizer for lessons and band.
I include links, learning targets  and plans for the day on it.

1. I have a daily agenda Google Slideshow that I use throughout the year. In the past, I rarely included links in the slideshow. Instead, I opened all the tabs needed for that day for documents, videos, slideshows, etc. Sometimes I had ten tabs open, and it was difficult to find things during my classes. Lately, I have been linking all of my documents, videos, slideshows, etc. into the agenda for the day. All I have tabbed now is the slideshow, and I can click on the links as needed. It has really made things easier to find during class.

1. I have a 7th grade and 8th grade table right by the door and have conditioned students to know that if there is a paper on their class's table to grab it before the bell rings. Doing this instead of taking class time to pass out materials (for me) saves an average of 4 minutes (10% of class).

I have a spread sheet for specific behaviors for student ownership that is proving to be easy to manage. When student have an infraction, they receive a tally mark (dink) in the appropriate column. Behavior patterns are beginning to emerge for some and the tallies can be tabulated for report cards and conferences.

The spread sheet is tied to some posters that hang in my classroom along with a handout each student received about specific behaviors for Accountability, Respectfulness, and Engagement.

I make folders in my Drive so I can better find stuff. I also bookmark stuff I need daily.

I also have learned to ask for help more often when I am totally confused with tech things. (Thanks, Erin P.)

Does anyone have an idea for a system of naming shared google docs that is consistent so staff can find docs quickly?

1. Because our PLC curriculum is aligned, we are able to rotate the responsibility of creating our daily agendas. We each create a week's worth, but only once every 3 weeks.  Along those same lines, lessons, assignments, assessments & pacing are all planned together, but the creation of them is divided & conquered as equally as possible.

2. All Daily Agendas are linked into our Canvas Home Pages so when students are absent they know to just go to the agenda to see what they missed. All lessons, notes, resources, assignments, etc. are linked into each Daily Agenda. Students can then email specific questions if they have any AFTER viewing the work we did when they were gone. This rarely happens b/c the agendas are completely transparent.  I have a student right now who is keeping up with her class work while on a 2 week European vacation thanks to the easy access to our agendas.

3. Anyone have tips for providing meaningful feedback to students on a consistent basis? It is the nature of the job, especially in ELA, but if there are any more shortcuts I'd sure love to hear them!

2. Anyone have any tips on making bi-weekly reading and writing probes more manageable so that there is more teaching time and less testing time? --The re-assessment center has been wonderful in helping with students who have to take a number of them at once for establishing a baseline or for students who miss a probe day. Thank you, Instructional Coaches!
