Beyond an Apple provides teachers with an overview of the organizing process, including eight organizing principles every primary teacher must know. Beyond an Apple offers over 300 organizational and management tips on:

· Room Arrangement · Open House · Curriculum Night · File Management · Paper Management · Lesson Planning · Homework

· Communication · Delegating Work · Involving Others · Time Management · Event Planning · Scrapbook and Photo Management · Money Savers

 

 

To make the organizational and management principles and tips in Beyond an Apple easy to understand, I include color photographs throughout the 82-page, 8.5x11 size book and ready-to-use examples for every primary classroom. The principles and tips are easy to implement any time of year. Although other books on the market offer some basic organizational and management tips, none offer the amount of information provided in Beyond an Apple. Putting just a handful of the principles and tips from Beyond an Apple into practice will change your life and classroom for the better!

Here’s a sample tip you can implement tomorrow in your classroom:

“Keep all extra snacks from students in a large tub. When a student forgets to bring a snack to school, there are always extras on hand. Make sure to store the snacks in a tub with a lid to keep pests out. Parents can save time and money by providing snack once a month for the whole class. You also stop the arguing over the variety of snacks and/or students swapping snacks with each other.”

I realize this might sound like other organizational and management books. But, here’s what teachers and other education professionals had to say about Beyond an Apple.
