We often assume students should already know how to stay organized, manage their time, and start tasks independently—but these are skills that need to be taught, modeled, and practiced.
In this episode, I’m talking with Mitch Weathers, a former high school teacher and creator of Organized Binder, about how a consistent daily routine anchored by a physical binder can help students build the habits they need to succeed.
You’ll learn:
- Why organization isn’t a one-time fix, but a daily skill that must be practiced
- How predictable routines reduce cognitive load and help students feel safe and ready to learn
- How a physical binder—even in a digital classroom—can provide structure and support executive functioning
- What a table of contents can do for student ownership, memory, and task follow-through
- How teachers can implement this system with minimal prep and maximum impact
Whether your students lose work, struggle to start tasks, or seem overly dependent on your directions, this conversation is packed with practical, low-lift solutions you can start using right away.
