Having useful classroom supplies readily available is one of the most important things an effective teacher can do. From organizational systems to positive rewards, there are some materials no teacher should be without. The most important item teachers need is an organizational system. Hanging files work perfectly for keeping student work, extra worksheets, and old lesson plans. Paper trays provide a place for students to turn in work without crowding the desk of the teacher. Bulletin boards allow teachers to post important dates and reminders for both themselves and the students. To brighten up a room in order to make it both educational and fun, teachers need wall decorations. Motivational and character-building posters encourage students to think about themselves as people and the specific choices they make on a day-to-day basis. Informational posters provide resources for students to use when the class is studying a particular topic. Changing posters and informational resources on a regular basis prevents the class from being bored. The change keeps the kids interested and excited to come to school. Teachers definitely need to have a set of materials for students to use. A supply of writing materials (pens, pencils, paper) and project-making items (poster board, markers, colored pencils) are essential to have available as a need for them can arise at any time. For students who are celebrating a special occasion, (birthday, tooth falling out, new addition to the family), a customized pencil for that particular event makes them feel cared for. Similarly, students respond extremely well to positive rewards for their behavior. Rewarding with specialized pencils is not only practical for completion of assignments, but it thrills most students. Organizational systems, wall decorations, writing/project materials, and positive reward items are all classroom supplies every teacher needs. These things will make teaching easy, fun, and effective for both the teacher and the student.
