What would happen if the classroom were unorganized?

If the room is disorderly and unkempt, it reflects badly on the educator. A messy, (physically) unorganized classroom also creates a sense of instability. It is important to not only keep a tidy classroom, but to appropriately utilize space as well.

Such an environment includes systems and structures that ensure classroom efficiency. With this in mind, check out these previous posts for practical, easy to implement classroom organization tips, including my signature classroom management aid: a tool belt.
