I'm certain that teaching is the most paper-laden profession of all. Making copies, collecting homework, passing out worksheets... I bet the average teacher touches thousands of pieces of paper each day!
That's why I recommend these sanity-saving tips for setting up a filing system that really makes sense and keeps your organized on a daily basis.
How do you keep from being overrun by papers in your classroom?

I use a color coded trick. It’s really simple yet works well. Each period I teach gets its own color folders (2 of them). One folder is the “Hand-In” folder of things to be graded. The second folder is the “Hand-Out” folder of things that have been graded and ready to return to students. It helps me a lot.
