a color for each class, a list by the door
Drawn for this page. Organization is taught like any routine: one system, one step at a time, with help that fades.

How to use it

  1. Start a check with the student’s code and the date.
  2. Mark what the materials system already has.
  3. Rate each routine: full prompt, partial prompt or independent.
  4. Choose who prompts and when to check again.
  5. Teach the routine named, then copy the check to the new date and rate again.

How the plan works

Why one routine at a time

Organization routines are skills, taught by modeling, daily practice at the same moment and help that steps down. Working on one routine until it holds is faster than prompting all six every day.

Fading

Move from doing it together, to pointing at the list, to a single word, to nothing. If the student slips twice in a row, go back one step for a few days.

What this is not

An executive function assessment. It records what you see in class.
