Too often schools struggle to engage the families of historically underrepresented students. Together with our Guide for Families, Organized Binder authentically engages each parent in their student's academic journey.
By helping students develop the noncognitive skills, strategies, attitudes, and behaviors that are the hallmarks of effective learners, teachers can improve student learning and course performance while also increasing the likelihood that students will be successful in college.

SELF-REGULATION
“Organized Binder has seen and taken action on what so many teachers tend to overlook – students’ lives outside of school are unknown! Students who do not know how to be, act, and/or learn like a student don't know how because they have NOT learned it! Not only did you take note of this, you came up with a way to change it.”
Middle School Teacher, Scotts Valley Middle School, Scotts Valley, CA
How It Works
Here's a snapshot of a few of the Organized Binder elements including a sneak peek into lessons from our online course.
SET GOALS
The first page in Organized Binder is the Goals page. It is colored gold because we want students “going for the gold”! Help students design a clear plan, including an actionable daily task, to turn their academic goal into reality.
A LIFELINE TO KEEP STUDENTS AFLOAT
At the beginning and end each class spend a few minutes with students reflecting on what they've learned. The Weekly Lifeline provides teachers with an authentic formative assessment to guide your instruction, because students are writing to you every class. Students gain daily practice with metacognition and self-assessment.
Never Miss an Assignment Again
Our Agenda helps students unpack the course syllabus and develop a keen sense of time and task management. They will never miss another assignment due date and they will be better prepared for every assessment while gaining exposure to a skill that will help them thrive in college.
Get Organized. Stay Organized.
We provide an easy and systematic approach to organize every assignment and resource from your course. Using Organized Binder you will turn your course content into a robust student portfolio they can utilize in subsequent classes and future endeavors.
Level Up The Agenda
