Having trouble with your organization?

The Problem
The Problem
Students cannot keep up with their work.
Studies have shown that students can’t be organized and keep up with their work because “they often seem to be "two steps behind" the rest of the class. They are late and unprepared.” (Itl)
Jill Gambill states that “Teachers at three separate public schools analyzed possible reasons behind low grades. All problems (late work, unprepared students, lax attitudes) related to students who were not organized for learning” (Gambill).
The Solution
The Solution
In the agenda they can write down all their assignments, deadlines, and special events so they won't forget a thing.
According to the Professional Learning Board, agendas “provide an easy and creative method of taking note of their commitments and deadlines.”
Oxford Learning has stated that “agendas can actually be used to take time management to the next level and can even help transfer organizational skills into other areas of life.”
