My Binders

{I wrote this post months ago, but completely forgot to publish it.}

Carol Miller's post Counselor Binder Update reminded me that I needed to post what was in my binder. This year I am using 4 main binders. YES!!! 4!!! 2 of them are my transcript binders (A-L, M-Z). The 3rd is my regular yearly binder where I put meeting notes, evaluations, certifcates, etc. The last one is my senior binder. I use that more frequently than my yearly binder. The sections are:

• Weekly Calendar
• Senior Spreadsheet 
• PLATO/AAI/Credit Recovery completions 
• Parent Contact Logs 
• Student Contact Logs (don't know how often I will use this form since I have all students sign in when they are in my office)
• Misc. (everything else that should be in the binder)

Instead of tab-dividers, I created cover pages and put them in sheet protectors to serve as dividers. I like it much better than regular dividers.
