The purpose of homework is to help reinforce what was taught in class or to have students gather extra information beyond what was demonstrated in class.

Homework is one part of daily classroom management that can cause many teachers problems. Homework must be assigned, collected, reviewed and assessed. That amount of work means homework must be designed to serve an academic purpose, otherwise, the results may be a great waste of student and instructor time.

Here are a few tips and ideas that can help you create an effective method for collecting homework every day.

Physical Homework

New teachers find out very quickly that day-to-day instruction is made much more effective when there are organized daily housekeeping routines. In developing these routines, if there is homework to collect, the best time to collect it for use in instruction is at the beginning of the period.

Methods you can use to accomplish this include:

• Station yourself at the door as students walk into your room. Students are required to hand you their homework. This greatly reduces the time it takes to complete this task because it is mostly finished before the bell even rings.
• Have a designated homework box. Explain to students how they are to turn in their homework each day. To keep track, you might remove the homework box after the bell rings and class begins. Anyone who does not get it in the box will have their homework be marked late. Many teachers find it a good idea to give students a three to a five-minute window after the bell rings to avoid possible confrontations and to keep things fair.

Digital Homework

If the technology is available, in school and at home, teachers may prefer to give a digital homework assignment. They may use a course platform like Google Classroom, Moodle, Schoology, or Edmodo.

Students may be asked to complete homework individually or collaboratively. In this cases, the homework will be time-stamped or a digital student is associated with the work. You may use that time stamp to show the homework has been completed on time.

Digital homework may include programs that provide immediate feedback, which will make assessing much easier. On some of these platforms, there may be an opportunity for a student to repeat an assignment. Digital platforms allow teachers to keep an assignment inventory or student portfolios to note student academic growth.

You may choose to use a “flipped classroom” model. In this model, the instruction is assigned as the homework in advance of class, while the hands-on practice takes place in the classroom. The central idea with this kind of digital homework is similar. In a flipped classroom, the homework serving as the teaching tool. There may be videos or interactive lessons to provide the instruction that happens in class. A flipped learning model allows students to work through problems, suggest solutions, and engage in collaborative learning.

Homework tips

• When it comes to daily housekeeping chores like collecting homework and taking roll, creating a daily routine is the most effective tool. If students know the system and you follow it every day, then it will take up less of your valuable teaching time and give students less time to misbehave while you are otherwise occupied.
• Come up with a quick system to mark an assignment as late. You might have a brightly colored highlighter which you use to make a mark on the top of the paper. You could also mark it with the number of points that you will be taking off the paper. Whatever your method, you will want to make it something you can do quickly and efficiently.

• Return homework within 24 hours for optimum effect.
• The flipped homework in class as part of instruction. The homework is not assessed, but the students are.

Ultimately, it is not the assigning or collecting of homework that is important. What is important is understanding the purpose of homework, and that purpose can help you determine the kind of homework, be it physical or digital, that works best for your students.

How to Remember to Turn in Homework

Last Updated: November 29, 2021

This article was co-authored by Emily Listmann, MA . Emily Listmann is a private tutor in San Carlos, California. She has worked as a Social Studies Teacher, Curriculum Coordinator, and an SAT Prep Teacher. She received her MA in Education from the Stanford Graduate School of Education in 2014.

You’ve had enough of that soul-crushing stare your teachers hit you with when they find out you forgot your homework again. They silently shake their head as you tell them you finished it, and even enjoyed working on the assignment, but simply left it at home. Even worse, you get home and realize you had brought your homework to class but forgot to turn it in! Again! Fortunately, there are proven steps you can take to help you remember to turn in your homework.

Organizing to Boost Your Productivity

• There is the classic two pocket, a side-folding folder in any color you can imagine, or adorned with the comic book hero, cartoon character, or sports team of your choice. One option is to get a few of these and use one for each of your classes.
• If you have separate folders for each class, keep all of them with you throughout the school day, perhaps in a three-ring binder.
• Alternatively, get yourself an accordion folder. These multi-pocketed wonders, usually equipped with a flap or other mechanism to ensure your materials stay where you put them, can immediately improve your organization. [1] X Research source
• Take time twice a week to organize all your folders or online files. This way they’re kept clean on a regular basis.

• Put any notes, handouts, worksheets, or assignment materials into the proper folder location as soon as you receive them, and keep them there whenever you’re not using them.
• Keep your organizing materials with you. Bring your binder or accordion with you to every single class. This ensures you always have all of your assignments with you for every class.
• For some extra tips, check out How to Be Organized in School.

• Before school every morning, triple check your bag! There’s nothing worse than simply forgetting completed homework at home. Make sure you have your organizing materials with you, and that you placed you completed assignments in them.

Developing Strategies to Remember Your Homework

• As soon as you sit down, take your completed assignment out of its folder and place in on your desk in front of you. Keep it there until you are able to turn it in.
• Get an extra folder exclusively for completed assignments and keep it in the very front of your binder. This way, you’ll be reminded of your completed assignments whenever you access any of your class materials.

• Always write down all of your homework assignments as soon as you are made aware of them. Be extremely detailed with the information you include. For example, jot down the chapters or page numbers of the textbooks or other materials associated with each assignment.
• If your class has a syllabus or course schedule, enter all of the included due dates into your personal planner.
• Include information regarding time slots you will not be able to work on homework, such as music or sports team practices, a babysitting gig, or family meals.

• Tangible planners are easier to update with quick additions or edits.
• It’s always satisfying to cross a completed assignment off with an actual writing utensil.
• Day planners are more appropriate for in-class use. Since you’ll often be assigned homework in class, and want to enter new assignments immediately, this is a particularly important factor.

• Another great source of reminders is your teacher. If you struggle to remember to bring your homework to class, talk to your teacher about it. Your teachers will likely have some helpful advice, and can even remind you the day before homework assignments are due.
• Your teachers will likely remind the whole class if you ask them to start reminding you, which may help your classmates remember their homework too!
• Alternatively, find a friend who will be sure to hold you accountable and remind you what needs to be done.

Using Your Time More Efficiently

• Think about how long it will take you to complete assignments and plan accordingly.
• Schedule specific portions of larger projects separately.
• If you struggle with finding large enough time slots to complete your homework, recognize that you need to make the time to do so. For instance, if you spend a good portion of each evening socializing with friends (online or in person), do all of your homework before you go out or get online.

• Kick starting your day will increase your productivity generally and prepare you for more efficient homework sessions. [2] X Research source
• Stick with it. If you get in the habit of getting up a bit earlier, you’ll likely start going to bed earlier as well.
• Don’t fall into the trap of staying up late working on homework, as your focus and productivity is greatly diminished late at night.
• Don’t procrastinate your homework and try to finish it when you wake up in the morning. It will make your day more stressful and ruin your previous night’s sleep.

• Wear headphones and sit facing a wall if you’re prone to visual distraction.
• Remind yourself that getting your homework done during school hours allows you to do whatever you want in your free time, including hang out with friends.

• If you are ever unsure of an assignment, ask your teacher about it as soon as you have a question.
• Get a jumpstart on weekend homework on Thursday or Friday. If you know you’re going to need to do some homework over the weekend, try to get it done earlier so you can relax and enjoy yourself over the weekend as well.
• Do not leave all of your weekend homework for Sunday.
• Try to plan weekend social activities for Saturday, and dedicate at least a few hours of Friday evening to schoolwork. If you do end up with plans on a Friday night, make sure you set aside a few hours on Saturday to work on homework.

Staying Focused on Your Homework

• Try studying in different environments to find the one that allows you to focus the best.
• Avoid screens, especially TVs. This includes your phone. Put your phone in your bag and leave it there. Only check it during scheduled breaks.
• Wear headphones (or earplugs). Whether in a library or coffee shop, headphones will help reduce the frequency of auditory distractions. Choose music that does not have lyrics, and is more ambient than bass-driven. Think “background music” when you’re making your selection, but know that you can still listen to music you enjoy.
• If you’re studying at home, try to use a room in which you won’t be interrupted by family members or roommates. Let others know you intend to work on homework for a certain amount of time, and ask them to let you be.

• The company of a friend can keep you from wondering what everybody else is up to, and can even make doing your homework feel like hanging out.
• Avoid studying with friends who tend to interrupt a lot, or who have trouble focusing themselves. You can hang with whoever you want once your work is done!

• Include a healthy snack, as well as a water bottle. Not having to get up for sustenance will keep you grinding through your homework for a longer period of time.
• Don’t forget sticky notes. They’re weirdly helpful. Use them as visual reminders of important things to remember, and to keep pages in books you’re studying or otherwise referencing frequently.

• Computers can also help you organize. Familiarize yourself with web-based storage systems like Google Drive and Dropbox. These will allow you to save and access files from anywhere you have internet access. [3] X Research source
• Use a flash drive too. Save all electronic files to both a web-based storage system and a thumb drive. Keep the drive with you at all times. (Get a thumb drive with a keychain attachment!) This way, even if you forget your hard copy, you can print another at school and eliminate the unfortunate “I forgot my homework” scenario.

• Try a 10 minute break after every 50 minutes of focused work.
• Use these breaks to go for a short walk, use the washroom, do a brief physical exercise (like stretching, push-ups, or jumping jacks), or to get a simple chore out of the way.
• Do not allow yourself to get distracted by activities that will prevent you from going back to work or will get your mind out of study mode. For instance, don’t call someone you haven’t spoken with in a while or sit down with friends who are hanging out but not studying.
• Reward yourself when completing assignments – but not before. If you’ve been itching for a bowl of ice cream, don’t dive into the freezer during a break. Instead, enjoy the ice cream once your homework is done for the evening and you can focus all of your attention – or none at all – on every bite.

Community Q&A

• If you’re doing your best to organize, plan, and focus on your homework, but are still struggling to get it all done, talk to a school counselor or your parents. School counselors, in particular, are trained to help students, and they will be happy to work with you on strategies and options to improve your ability to succeed in school.

Tips to get students remember to turn in homework

By Practical Mama | This post may contain affiliate links

Towards the end of last year, my son started to have problems with his homework. The issue was not the assignment themselves. He would complete the assignments on time, but then he would frequently forget to turn them in, which would result in reduced grades. As a parent, this was more frustrating to us than not doing the assignment itself.

We didn’t want to jump to the conclusion that our son was a scatterbrain, forgetful or even he didn’t care. We’ve tried to determine the factors causing this issue. We asked him questions every time when he forgot to turn in his homework:

• Was there a dropbox or bin that he should have turned the assignment in?
• Did the teacher ask them to bring their assignments?
• Did the teacher make announcements when they collect them?
• Did the teacher assign a student to pick the completed homework up?
• Did he notice other kids hand their assignments in at all?

Eventually, we came to the conclusion that the situation was a combination of “lack of organizing”, “varying methods of collecting the assignments by teachers” and “forgetfulness”. We started with “lack of organizing” and “forgetfulness”. We offered few alternative options of solutions he could use and he picked whatever he thought would work for him. The keyword is “simplify”. Kids have so many responsibilities and so many distractions these days, picking a suitable solution for oneself is essential. Simple solutions are the best.

Organizing is about being aware of what one has in their environment. It can be their backpack, desk or locker etc. I wasn’t the most organized student myself either. So I can relate. When you are not an inherently organized person, you need to be taught methods and given tools to function. If you or your children have “scatterbrain” or “forgetfulness” problem, organizing by sorting, grouping, ordering, and labeling is your remedy. I highly recommend you to take a look at the 5S Methodology .

Expandable Folder:  My son uses his expandable folder to keep track of his paper based homework. He organized his folder by labeling them for a specific purpose, such as “ new homework “, “ homework to turn in “, “ work in progress ” and “ graded homework ” etc. The important point though is for the student to open the folder up every day at school and at home and go through it, check appropriate sections and take action on it.

At my kids’ school, homework is posted online on Google classroom. All homework have deadlines. They needed to track when each assignment is due, not only to remember the time to turn them in but also prioritize and plan their time to do their homework on time.

Online Calendars: It’s forbidden to use cell phones at their school but laptops are widely used. We use online Google calendars for all of our scheduling but in my humble opinion, excessive use of electronics and online resources for school work cause more distraction for students. Especially, if your kids are having hard time focus as is. There is already so much use of the internet, whether it is classroom portals, online learning websites, e-mailing and messaging for classroom projects. It’s healthier to keep some of the efforts offline.

Post it notes:  You can use post-it notes on a pencil box, folder or another item that student definitely takes out of their backpacks every day. Post-it note should trigger action to turn the homework in.

Locker checklist: If the student has a locker at school, they can create a reminder note, laminate and put it up visibly in their locker. Every time, they visit their locker, they’ll see the note and make sure all their assignments handed in and all their new homework material is put in their backpack.

Final check before school dismissal : Getting into the habit of going through a checklist at the time when they are packing their backpacks before going home is a great way to work the executive functioning part of those growing brains. This can be with the help of an exact same note as the locker checklist, or merely a mental checklist:

• Did I turn in all my assignments?
• Did I put in all new assignments in my folder?
• Did I pack all necessary notebooks and books to complete my assignments?

COMMUNICATING WITH THE TEACHER

It’s also important to talk to the teachers to learn their preferred method of collecting the assignments. During the parent-teacher conferences, we talked to the teachers as well. We asked to have a standard method of turning in the assignments if they varied so that the students would know what is expected. It’s confusing for the students when one day the teachers announce to turn in the assignments, the other day they just assume the homework will be turned into a bin without making an announcement.

We also advised our son to go up to the teacher before the end of the session and ask whether he should turn in the homework if he is in doubt. It is his responsibility to let the teacher know he has completed his assignment on time and has it ready by its due date.

ONLINE HOMEWORK

Online homework is rather easier with one precaution. If homework is an online lesson, the homework is considered submitted when the lesson is complete. However, if an online document needs to be submitted, that has to go on time as well. The same organizing and reminder methods can be used. Also, some portals have check marks to notify the completion of the assignment. The student should have a final review the portal daily before closing down the homework session to make sure they checked all completed assignments as DONE.

I am happy to report that he’s currently in control of turning the assignments on time using these organizing and reminder methods.

Do you have similar issues with your children? If you use any of these methods and find helpful or use other methods which work, please share them in the comments.

I haven’t tried anything yet, but I will be. These are helpful ideas. My daughter just transitioned to middle and is struggling keeping up with assignments and turning them in.

I don’t understand why teachers cannot just ask the students to turn in their homework. Why is that so hard? Even my college professors, all of them, reminded us to turn in our homework assignments.

I also think that the teachers should remind there students at the end of the day before leaving the classroom to remember all there home work, especially for those students that have problems remembering homework, even before middle school years,to help them start making it a habit.

42 Ways to Help Students Stay Organized at School

Colleen beck otr/l.

• by Colleen Beck OTR/L
• April 9, 2024

This blog post oh how to help students become more organized at school was originally written on January 11, 2016 and was updated on April 9, 2024. We wanted to update it to include resources to help kids with a messy desk or disorganized locker that results in lost homework, misplaced assignments, and general school organization. A related post that can support these needs is the home aspect with our post on organization activities .

School Organization

Helping students get organized is key when it comes to executive functioning skills and school work and participating in education in the school setting. One way I like to explain this is by referring to school organization as a two part balance.

One side of the balance is the home aspect and the other side is the school aspect.

Executive functioning skills play a major role in homework! And, there is more to it than just doing a homework assignment. There is actually a school and a home aspect that involves EF skills like organization, attention, task completion, working memory, impulse control, and other skills. The thing is that development of these skills isn’t complete until 30 years of age, so having tools and strategies in place is key for each step.

At school there can be supports for each step:

• Writing down the assignment in an agenda
• Putting all of the needed materials into the backpack: books, tablet/device, papers, folders, etc.
• And then turning in the assignment when it is due: locating the assignments and other items

At home, there are several stages as well:

• Locating the homework assignment and all items in the backpack
• Doing the assignment completely according to the timeline and requirements
• Putting the completed assignment back into the backpack or folder along with other materials

Kids need Organization Skills in order   to function during their school day.

A student’s desk is so over-stuffed that papers are crammed in among pencils, books, last week’s homework, and the missing permission slip for today’s field trip.

A backpack that is filled with crumbled papers, broken pencils, toys, and crumbs from last week’s lunch.

A locker that doesn’t shut because granola bar wrappers, overdue library books, three sweatshirts, and last semester’s gym shorts. A homework folder that is so full that it doesn’t shut flat, filled with doodles, notes from teachers, homework, and yesterday’s test that needed a parent signature.

21 Effective Visual Learning Strategies To Engage Visual Learners

If you’re a teacher or a parent who’s ever wondered, “How can I make learning more engaging and effective for my students or children?”, then you’re in the right place. Visual learning strategies are powerful tools that can transform the way information is absorbed, retained, and recalled. They make the most of our brain’s ability to process visual information, which is inherently more interesting and memorable than plain text or spoken words. So, ready to explore these game-changing techniques with us? Let’s get started!

Visual Learning Strategies

Visual learning strategies can greatly benefit students by making complex concepts more accessible and engaging. Here’s a list of visual learning strategies:

1. Visual Aids

As a parent or teacher, one effective way of employing these strategies is by integrating diagrams, charts, or infographics into the learning process. For instance, let’s say you’re tasked with teaching a visual learner about the water cycle. Instead of relying solely on verbal explanations or text, consider using a detailed diagram of the water cycle. 

This visual aid can clearly illustrate each stage – from evaporation, to condensation, to precipitation, and collection – offering an easily comprehensible and memorable representation of the concept. This strategy not only caters to visual learners’ strengths, but also helps to foster a more engaging and interactive learning environment.

2. Graphic Organizers

Graphic Organizers are a potent visual learning strategy that can significantly aid in understanding and retaining complex information. Essentially, they’re visual displays teachers or parents can utilize to organize information in a manner that makes it easier for visual learners to grasp. 

For instance, let’s consider you’re helping a student understand the storyline of a novel. You could use a Story Map graphic organizer, which visually outlines the key elements of the story such as setting, characters, conflict, resolution, and plot events. This allows the student to see the relationships between different parts of the story, promoting a deeper understanding and recall. Thus, Graphic Organizers can turn a daunting task into an engaging, manageable, and visually stimulating learning experience.

3. Mind Maps

Mind maps are an extraordinary visual learning strategy that teachers and parents can effortlessly utilize to enhance a visual learner’s comprehension. By creating a central concept and branching out with related ideas, mind maps serve as an effective tool for brainstorming, note-taking, or summarizing a topic. 

For instance, you can create a mind map while teaching a history lesson. The central concept could be ‘World War II’, with branches sprouting to various key aspects like ‘Causes’, ‘Key Figures’, ‘Major Battles’, and ‘Consequences’. Each branch can further be divided into smaller branches, encapsulating all the details in a visually appealing and understandable format. 

Best Mind Mapping Tools For Learning

With a glance, students can grasp the overall structure of the topic, seeing how different pieces of information connect to each other. This approach resonates particularly well with visual learners, making learning an enjoyable and productive process.

4. Color Coding

Color coding is a powerful visual learning strategy that can significantly enhance information retention and understanding. For teachers and parents, this is a practical and efficient tool to help visual learners excel. For example, when helping a child learn mathematics, color coding can be used to differentiate between various mathematical operations. Multiplication problems could be highlighted in blue, division in green, addition in yellow, and subtraction in red. 

This way, the child can visually organize the information, making it easier to recognize and solve different types of problems. Using color coding as a visual learning strategy, you can effectively connect symbols and meanings, making learning more enticing and fun for visual learners.

5. Visual Timelines

Visual learning strategies are effective tools for enhancing comprehension and retention among visual learners. One particularly effective strategy is the use of “Visual Timelines”. Visual timelines provide a graphical representation of events in chronological order. For example, a teacher teaching a history lesson about World War II can use a visual timeline to plot key events, battles, and political shifts. This way, the students can easily understand the progression of events, their interconnections, and their relative significance. 

Similarly, a parent helping their child learn daily routines or understand concepts of time can create a visual timeline of a typical day. This could include images representing waking up, eating breakfast, going to school, doing homework, and sleeping. This visual reference aids in developing a clear and logical understanding of sequences and timeframes, fostering effective learning.

6. Interactive Whiteboards

Interactive Whiteboards (IWBs) are a powerful visual learning strategy that can significantly enhance comprehension and engagement for visual learners. They are essentially ‘touch-sensitive’ screens connected to a computer and projector, enabling the display of interactive content. For instance, a teacher or parent can use an IWB when teaching fractions. They could display pie charts or bars that can be manipulated to show different fractions.

The learner can physically interact with the content, changing the pie chart’s size or the bar’s length. This hands-on interaction, coupled with the visual representation, helps the learner understand the concept better. It’s not just about hearing the information; it’s about seeing it, touching it, and interacting with it. With IWBs, learning becomes a dynamic experience, fostering a deeper understanding and retention of the material.

7. Visual Summaries

Visual Summaries are an excellent strategy for visual learners, providing clear, easy-to-understand overviews of a topic. This method is great for processing complex information, breaking it down into digestible, visual chunks. As a teacher or parent, you can utilize this strategy to enhance comprehension and retention of knowledge.

For instance, let’s say you’re teaching a unit on the solar system. Instead of relying solely on text-based materials, you could create a Visual Summary. This tool could include illustrations of the planets, their orbits, and other significant features, each labeled with important facts. By doing this, you’re offering a visual learning aid that helps students or your child to understand, remember, and recall the information more effectively.

8. Videos and Animations

As a teacher or parent, one powerful visual learning strategy at your disposal is the use of videos and animations. These dynamic tools bring concepts to life in a way that textbooks cannot, making complex information more digestible. For instance, if you’re teaching a child about the water cycle, a simple animation can illustrate each step—evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection—in an engaging, easy-to-understand manner. The child can see the process unfolding, helping them to grasp and remember the concept more effectively. This approach not only enhances comprehension but also fosters an enjoyable learning experience.

9. Illustrated Stories

Illustrated Stories are a powerful visual learning strategy that can be capitalized on by both teachers and parents to enhance comprehension and retention for visual learners. This approach involves using graphic elements, such as pictures or animations, to accompany and illustrate the narrative of a story. The idea is to leverage the visual learner’s innate ability to process and remember information presented visually. 

For example, let’s say a teacher is introducing a new topic – “The Life Cycle of a Butterfly.” Instead of simply describing the stages, the teacher can present an illustrated storybook that vividly depicts each stage in a butterfly’s life cycle. This not only makes the lesson more engaging but also enables the visual learner to form a mental picture of the process, aiding in long-term retention of the information. The use of Illustrated Stories can be a fun and effective addition to visual learning strategies.

10. Virtual Field Trips

Virtual Field Trips are a fantastic visual learning strategy that can significantly enhance the learning experience, especially for visual learners. These online journeys allow students to explore different locations, cultures, or events from the comfort of their classroom or home, delivering a vibrant and immersive learning experience that textbooks might struggle to provide. This method is both interactive and visually stimulating, facilitating a higher level of engagement and understanding.

For instance, a teacher might utilize a Virtual Field Trip to the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History during a lesson on dinosaurs. The students can virtually navigate through the museum, exploring the exhibits, and closely observing the creature’s skeletons. This experience, paired with a guided discussion or follow-up activities, can help reinforce the lesson in a way that’s unforgettable and meaningful for visual learners.

What is Virtual Learning? 10 Best Practices to Implement

11. Conceptual Models

Conceptual models are a powerful tool in visual learning strategies. They enable you to depict complex concepts or processes graphically, making them more comprehensible and engaging for visual learners. For instance, a teacher teaching the solar system can create a 3D model displaying the planets and their relative positions and sizes. 

This hands-on, visual strategy allows students to grasp the concept of the solar system in a more tangible and memorable way than text alone. Similarly, parents can use conceptual models at home to explain day-to-day processes. For example, a simple model of a plant can be used to teach children about photosynthesis, turning an abstract concept into a relatable visual experience.

12. Visual Note-Taking

Visual note-taking can be an effective strategy for aiding visual learners in their educational journey. It’s a method that allows learners to represent their thoughts and ideas in a dynamic, visual way, which can significantly enhance their understanding and retention of information. For instance, a teacher or a parent implementing this strategy could encourage a student to draw a diagram or sketch to represent the life cycle of a butterfly when studying biology. 

This exercise not only stimulates visual cognition but also makes the learning process more enjoyable and memorable for the student. Remember, the goal of visual note-taking isn’t to create a piece of art, but rather to create a personalized visual understanding of the information.

13. Visual Vocabulary

Visual Vocabulary is a compelling strategy that can enable visual learners to comprehend and remember new words or concepts more efficiently. It involves associating words with relevant images, symbols, or diagrams to create a visual context. For instance, a teacher teaching the concept of photosynthesis to her students could use a diagram depicting how plants take in carbon dioxide and sunlight to produce glucose and oxygen. 

Similarly, a parent helping a child learn new vocabulary could draw a picture of an ‘apple’ while teaching the word ‘apple’. This association helps the child to remember the word and its meaning for a longer time. The Visual Vocabulary strategy capitalizes on the visual learner’s innate ability to remember and understand visual cues, making learning more engaging and effective.

14. Interactive Diagrams

Interactive diagrams are an excellent visual learning strategy that you can utilize either as a teacher or a parent to enhance the learning experience of visual learners. These diagrams facilitate the understanding of complex concepts by visually depicting the relationships and processes involved. 

For instance, consider teaching the solar system. Instead of relying solely on verbal or textual descriptions, you can use an interactive diagram of the solar system. This diagram can allow learners to click on each planet to reveal information about its size, composition, and its distance from the sun. This not only aids in retaining information but also stimulates curiosity and encourages exploration. The visual representation of the solar system can help visual learners grasp the concept more effectively as they can ‘see’ the information, rather than just read or listen to it.

15. Conceptual Art Projects

Conceptual Art Projects can be an effective visual learning strategy for visual learners, providing a hands-on approach to understanding complex concepts. For instance, let’s consider a teacher or parent trying to explain the concept of the Solar System. Instead of relying solely on textual or oral descriptions, they could initiate a project where the child is involved in creating a 3D model of the Solar System. 

This hands-on project not only allows the child to visually connect with the concept, but also enables them to comprehend the relative sizes and distances of the planets in a more concrete manner. This helps to reinforce the child’s understanding and retention of the subject matter, making learning an enjoyable and lasting experience.

16. Storyboarding

Storyboarding is a powerful visual learning strategy that you, as a teacher or parent, can utilize to enrich the learning experience for visual learners. This method involves creating a visual sequence of events, like a comic strip, to depict a story or process. It aids in comprehension and retention by allowing the learner to visualize the information, thus making abstract concepts more concrete.

For instance, suppose you’re teaching the process of photosynthesis to a child. Instead of solely relying on textual information, you could draw a storyboard illustrating the stages of photosynthesis. The first panel might show a tree absorbing sunlight, the second could depict water and carbon dioxide being absorbed through the roots and leaves, the third would show the production of glucose and oxygen, and so on. This visual representation can make the complex process easier to understand and remember, reinforcing the learning outcome.

17. Comparative Charts

Comparative charts are a fantastic visual learning strategy that can be effectively used by teachers and parents to boost a visual learner’s understanding. These charts allow learners to see comparisons and contrasts between different concepts clearly, making the information more digestible and memorable. 

Let’s consider an example: if a teacher is trying to make students understand the differences and similarities between two historical events, a comparative chart could be an excellent tool. The teacher can list the events vertically down the left side of the chart, with categories for comparison (like cause, impact, key figures) along the top. The corresponding cells can then be filled with the relevant information. As a result, students can visually compare and contrast the two events, aiding their understanding and retention. This approach simplifies complex information and enhances learning for visual learners.

18. Digital Collages

Digital Collages constitute an effective visual learning strategy that can be harnessed by teachers and parents alike to enhance the learning experience of visual learners. They offer a creative avenue to compile and represent information, ideas, or concepts in a visually appealing and comprehensive manner. 

For instance, let’s consider a history lesson on the American Revolution. A teacher or parent can create a Digital Collage that includes key figures, maps, battlefields, and significant events of the period. They can also add brief descriptions or captions to the images. This would not only aid in visualizing the historical events but also in constructing mental links between the different elements. Thus, Digital Collages, by amalgamating text and visuals, can greatly facilitate the learning process for visual learners, making it more engaging and effective.

19. Visual Quizzes

Visual quizzes can be a game changer in the world of visual learning strategies. As a teacher or a parent, you have the opportunity to utilize visual quizzes to enhance understanding and retention for visual learners. Here’s how it works. Let’s say you’re teaching your students or children about the animal kingdom.

Rather than relying solely on verbal or textual descriptions, you could create a visual quiz. For this, compile a set of images showcasing different animals, and ask them to identify which ones are mammals, which are reptiles, and so on. By doing this, you’re allowing them to associate visual elements with the concepts they’re learning, which can boost their memory retention and make learning a fun and interactive experience.

20. Art Integration

Art integration serves as an exceptional visual learning strategy, especially for visual learners, as it emphasizes the use of images, diagrams, and other visual aids to facilitate understanding. For instance, a teacher or parent might choose to integrate art into a history lesson by creating a time-period-specific collage. This could involve gathering pictures, symbols, or drawings that resonate with the era being studied, arranging them in chronological order on a large piece of paper. 

This visual representation not only offers learners a comprehensive overview of the historical period but also allows them to connect more deeply with the subject matter. The tangible, visual nature of the collage fosters a richer learning experience, catering perfectly to the needs of visual learners.

21. Science Labs and Demonstrations

Science labs and demonstrations are a highly effective visual learning strategy that can immensely benefit visual learners. These hands-on activities provide clear, visual representations of scientific concepts, making abstract ideas more tangible and easier to understand. For instance, imagine a teacher or parent demonstrating the reaction between baking soda and vinegar. 

This experiment isn’t just fun and engaging; it visually illustrates the concept of chemical reactions. The learner can see the vinegar (an acid) react with the baking soda (a base) to produce a new substance, carbon dioxide (the bubbles). This visual demonstration brings the science to life, aiding comprehension and making learning a more enjoyable experience for visual learners.

Visual learning strategies are powerful tools that teachers and parents can harness to empower visual learners. As you’ve seen, these methods can turn challenging concepts into memorable visuals, enhancing understanding and engagement. Remember, it’s all about making learning visible, tangible, and interactive. So, don’t be afraid to experiment and to incorporate charts, diagrams, mind maps, or even virtual reality into your teaching methods. Make learning a vibrant, visual journey. After all, for your visual learners, seeing truly is believing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do visual learners learn best.

As a visual learner, you thrive when information is presented in a way that you can see. Graphs, charts, infographics, timelines, animated videos, or pictorial flashcards tend to work best for you. You probably find it easy to remember information from movies or presentations where visual aids were incorporated extensively. Mind maps are another effective tool for you, helping to visualize the connections between different pieces of information. So, if you’re revising for an exam or seeking to understand a complex theory, try translating that information into a diagram or flowchart. Remember, your strength lies in ‘seeing’ information.

Why is visual learning the best learning style?

Visual learning strategies can be incredibly effective because they cater to a fundamental way that many people process information. As a visual learner, you’re likely to find that information makes the most sense when you can see it. This is because our brains naturally tend to absorb and recall visual information better than auditory or text-based data. It’s like painting a picture in your mind – the colors, shapes, and patterns all contribute to a memorable image that’s easy to recall when you need it. 

What do visual learners struggle with?

Visual learners, while having the advantage of learning quickly through images, diagrams, and other visual aids, often struggle with auditory instructions and long passages of written information. They may find lectures or discussion-based classes difficult to follow, as their strength lies in seeing and visualizing rather than hearing or reading. Additionally, they may struggle with complex concepts that are presented without accompanying visual aids, such as charts or diagrams.

What is the best material for visual learners?

Infographics and diagrams often serve as the most effective materials for visual learners. These types of content allow you, as a visual learner, to quickly grasp complex information and new concepts. Infographics are beneficial because they break down data into a visually appealing and digestible format. Diagrams, on the other hand, help you visualize the structure of an idea or process, making it easier to remember and understand. So, when it comes to visual learning strategies, incorporating infographics and diagrams into your study routine could significantly boost your comprehension and retention of information.

Homework Drop Box : A Routine To Organize Homework Collection

• Classroom Management , Classroom Organization

One of the most exciting parts of being a teacher is having the creative freedom to experiment with routines and procedures that work best for you and your students. The little tweaks we make in our classroom throughout the year create an environment that is more functional and exciting for students.

The Evolution of Homework Collection

One of the classroom routines you may find yourself tweaking frequently is homework collection. Those first few minutes when students walk into the classroom are filled with a lot of hustle and bustle…and an occasional unexpected surprise. Homework collection should be quick and seamless, but finding an approach that works best for you may take some time. Here are a few approaches I’ve tried in the past:

Turn In Bin

Students place their homework in a turn in bin. The pros? Homework submission is quick for students. The cons? You may find nameless papers and it takes time time to sort through the pile to figure out who’s missing their assignment. Check sheets or classroom jobs can make this approach a bit easier.

Corner of the Desk

Students place their homework on the corner of their desk before starting their morning work. You walk around and collect homework from each student. The pros? You are able to greet each student at their seat first thing in the morning. It’s also easy to see who has their homework ready to submit on time. The cons? This collection process can be time consuming and placing homework on the desk crowds students’ work space.

Stack on the Station

Students place their homework in a pile at a central location on or near their table group. You walk to each group’s “turn in spot” and thumb through papers to see whose work is on time. The pros? Homework collection is fairly quick. The cons? Less organized students who benefit from visual cues and don’t take note of the flat stack of papers piled near their seat consistently needed reminders to turn in homework.

An Efficient Homework Collection Routine

The routine that has been most efficient for my students is very similar to the group station routine with an added layer of organization. The Homework Drop Box makes turning in assignments quick and easy for students and teachers.

How It Works

At the end of each day during Tidy Up Time, our Teacher’s Assistant places a drop box at each table group.

When students arrive the following morning, they walk to their group drop box, find the file folder with their name on it, and drop their homework inside the folder. Students place their assignments in their folder standing tall in portrait-style rather than laying down in landscape-style. This allows the teacher to quickly walk to each station, thumb through each folder and instantly see who has and hasn’t turned in homework.

The teacher can then grab the top of all the papers at once and pull the assignments out into a neatly organized pile.

In my classroom, the Teacher’s Assistant then moves our drop boxes out of the way until we need them later in the day, or until the next school day.

Having a smaller file box at each group, rather than a larger one for the entire class eliminates the problem of a long line to turn in homework. This means students settle into their seats and start their morning work without wasted time.

Although some of the changes we face as teachers tend to throw off our equilibrium for a moment, focusing on smaller changes that benefit our students helps bring us back to a more balanced and efficient groove in the classroom.

Where can I find these bins?

Hi Katie, you can find them here (affiliate link).

Hi Laura! I was reading about your homework drop box’s and I love this! Homework collection has been crazy with me so I can’t wait to try it. I was curious though, it says that the teacher’s assistant places the bins on the desk. Is this a student that has that job for the week/ month? Or do you actually have a teacher’s assistant with you? I ask because I am gaining a teacher’s assistant next year and I am looking for ways to improve their organization to have a smooth transition into my class. Thank for all of your great ideas! – Meghan

Hi Meghan, thank you for reaching out. I noticed your comment got lost in the shuffle, but it just caught my eye when I was updating this post. 🙂 You are so fortunate to be gaining a teacher’s assistant! Mine is a student job. 🙂 I hope you are enjoying your school year! Warmly, Laura

I love this idea of the homework drop box. I am currently observing in a first-grade classroom and I can see how crazy homework collection can be. As a preservice teacher I love reading blogs like this. Being organized is a very important part of classroom management. The homework drop box is such a creative, yet efficient way for students to turn in their homework. The homework drop box allows students to place their homework portrait-style rather than landscape style which is beneficial for the teacher. This way the teacher can notice quickly who has and has not turned in their homework. I hope to use this efficient homework collection technique in my own classroom one day.

Excellent tup! Thanks so much for the idea, sharing the labels, and link for purchasing the boxes! This will be a game changer for me this year! How do you go about collecting finished and unfinished work and absent/make up/corrections? I need ideas for this paper management area as well. I have kids who are pulled consistently out of class for different support and managing the work is a real struggle. Thanks so much!

Thank you for reaching out Ashley. 🙂 To collect finished work, I’ll either use these same drop boxes, or have students place the work in a pile on their station (the white shelf at the end of each group). Sometimes, I’ll have finished work placed on station 1, and unfinished work placed on station 2. Any makeup work for absent students is submitted to the drop box the morning it is due. Warmly, Laura

Are these the small size ones through the link or do you use a bigger size? Love the idea!

I use the small file boxes. 🙂

I love your white cabinets with the green trays that appear to slide in and out. Where can I find those? Thanks

Hi there! They are from IKEA.

Hi! I love this idea for the classroom. My school is departmentalized so I have three different classes per day. Do you have any suggestions for implementing this strategy in a departmentalized classroom? Thanks! 🙂

Hi Taylor, thank you for reaching out. Is there time during your first few minutes/class warmup when you could quickly check what work has been submitted?

Hi Laura, I would love to implement this in my classroom this year, but struggle with my students tearing out the pages correctly without ripping their work up. I want to send the math book home because I have had numerous comments from parents that it helps to see the work we did together. That means that students have to too out at school. Any ideas for me? Thanks, Kerri

Hi Kerri, You could get the larger hanging file bins and have them turn in their whole workbook with a paper clip on the page they complete the previous night so you can quickly flip open and check their work. Warmly, Laura

Do you use EnVision? Our school uses EnVision and those sheets look awfully familiar haha. If so, do your enrichments match the curriculum?

Hi Amy, yes we use EnVision and yes the enrichment math units are very nicely aligned. 🙂 Warmly, Laura

Wonderful news! Thank.you for.your quick response!

I LOVE this idea! Homework is one of the banes of my teaching existence. We give weekly homework Tuesday to Tuesday and it’s a nightmare. It’s one sheet and 90% of students don’t turn it in. After Friday, they forget about it. Even though they have a week, it doesn’t take that long. I’m going to work this out this summer and use this idea if I can. Are you open to making these labels editable? I love that it’s free, but I use “Table 1” and so on and save Group 1 for small groups and would like consistency and no confusion on names. Thank you, Jennifer

Hi Jennifer, glad you found a system that might helpful as you get organized for next school year. 🙂 I will make note that an editable version will be helpful for any potential future updates. Warmly, Laura

Classroom Accommodations

Understanding students educational needs and will help teachers create productive classroom accommodations. There are many types of learning challenges and each type requires different classroom accommodation. Some of the most common learning issues are auditory processing (which impacts reading and spelling), visual-motor integration (which impacts processing speed and writing), and ADHD (which impacts attentions and focus). Creating a supportive environment can help these students engage in the learning process.

Suggestions for classroom accommodations by learning issue:

Auditory processing.

Jessica is in 2nd grade. Her parents see her as bright and friendly. Socially, she interacts well with peers and adults. Jessica’s mother became concerned when she observed her daughter in the classroom. Outside the classroom Jessica is active and outspoken; inside the classroom Jessica was withdrawn. Jessica stayed to herself and avoided interaction with teachers and peers. The teacher reported that Jessica could not learn her math facts or read. Jessica also had difficulty following simple directions and would not ask questions when she did not understand what she supposed to do.

An auditory processing difficulty often means the student is unable to understand, or process auditory input at the rate it is spoken. Depending on the extent of the problem, students may miss anywhere from 5% to 50% of the information being given. Creating classroom accommodations will help Jessica process more information and help her learn.

Classroom accommodations

• Encourage participation
• Call on her only when you know she knows the answer. Often this will be the 2nd or 3rd person to talk in the discussion as this will give her time to establish the context of the conversation.
• Praise her for her accomplishments.
• Have her work with a partner.
• Find out what she’s good at and have her share that skill with the class.
• Her low reading ability limits her understanding of written corrections and her auditory processing difficulties make it difficult for her to understand oral directions.
• Break both written and oral directions into short concise parts.
• Teach her to number each set of written directions and underline key words, which indicate actions needed to complete the assignment.
• Check with her directly after getting instruction is given to ensure she understands what she is to do.
• Seat her in the front of the class so she can gain as many visual and auditory clues as possible.
• Help her visualize what she’s reading or listening to.
• Provide context for new materials by building on familiar concepts.
• Answer questions by referring back to the main idea of the topic to help facilitate the understanding of the whole concept.

Visual Motor Integration

Kevin is in the 6th grade, extremely verbal and is an excellent reader. He is able to verbally demonstrate his knowledge of what he has read and performs well on multiple-choice tests. However, when asked to write a paragraph Kevin uses simple sentences and gives only brief answers. His writing is messy. He ignores margins, indents haphazardly, and has trouble anchoring his letters on the line. Kevin also has difficulty in math. His writing is so sloppy he makes careless errors due to misreading what he’s working on. Additionally, Kevin’s class notes are incomplete and often so difficult to read even he doesn’t know what they say. Lastly, Kevin’s assignment book is never filled in completely causing him to miss assignments.

A weakness in visual motor integration means the student has fine motor problems, which make it hard for him to write, combined with a visual problem, which makes it hard for him to manually reproduce visually presented information. Therefore, copying from a book or the board is extremely difficult. Anything that requires fine motor skills, like writing, is challenging for a child like this. Students with a visual motor integration weakness dislike writing. They generally turn in written work that is sloppy and inferior in quality. All written work is laborious and takes an exorbitant amount of time. Classroom accommodations will help Kevin process more information and help him demonstrate what he knows.

• Give handouts, or have a partner whose notes Kevin can photocopy, rather than requiring him to copy from the board.
• Assist in note-taking by providing an outline, which he can then fill in with the lecture information.
• The template has the indent markers and margins clearly noted.
• Use wide ruled paper.
• Allow the use of computer whenever possible.
• For long assignments, that cannot be done on the computer, either shorten the assignment or allow him extra time.
• Allow him to use graph paper for all math assignments.
• Once you’ve demonstrated mastery of math facts allow the use of the computer.

Katie is in 5th grade. She is bright and an evaluation of her skills indicates that she has superior verbal skills and average to superior performance skill. Katie was noted by teachers to exhibit tremendous anxiety, which inhibited her from demonstrating her ability. She is struggling in all subjects and has difficulty staying focused during lectures. She is observed to  “daydream” during independent work times. Her attentional difficulties present a problem at home and at school. Katie is unable to stay on task and is easily distracted. She often leaves the books she needs for homework at school. She also forgets to turn in her homework.

ADHD students are unable to remain focused and therefore miss details and make careless mistakes. They often fail to follow through on assignments and have a difficult time organizing their thoughts, as well as their work. They forget things, lose things and are easily distracted. When attention deficit has the added component of hyperactivity it makes it difficult for students to remain physically calm. They squirm and fidget. They need to get up and move around, and often talk excessively. Waiting for turns is difficult because these students to jump into games and conversations. Setting up classroom accommodations will help Katie develop better executive functioning skills which will help her become a stronger student.

• Seat her in the front of the room.
• Have “cue” words that you both agreed upon, these are intended to call her back when she’s daydreaming.
• Provide structure words in your lectures that enable her to refocus and know where she is. “1st point, 2nd point, 3rd point, moving to the next idea”.
• Provide weekly assignment sheets.
• Use visual organizers/calendars for long-term assignments.
• Check her assignment book, or have a partner check, to ensure she has all assigned work written down and knows which books need to be taken home.
• Remind her to turn in homework each day.
• A wiggle seat can be helpful.
• Timers can be very helpful, especially ones that count down.
• Checklists and charts that can be used in the classroom and at home can be very beneficial.
• Teach children to take control of their thinking with this mantra

12 Simple Turn In Bins for Classrooms

• Post category: stationery organization / classroom hacks / classroom management

You can use all kinds of storage solutions to make turn in bins for classrooms. Every classroom needs turn in stations for student work. Turn in bins are used for collecting homework, forms, assignments, and worksheets from your students. Each bin or paper tray needs to have a clear label for students to be able to use your turn-in system efficiently.

There are many of ways to make a turn in work organizer for your classroom. Teachers use paper tray organizers, plastic bins, stackable baskets, drawer carts, book bins, clear file containers, and classroom mailboxes. See how teachers are using these to make student turn in bins and homework trays in the classroom pictures below.

I love to find awesome classroom decor ideas. As an Amazon affiliate, I may earn a commission for purchases using my links. The ideas and paid links below are based on Amazon finds that are great for making turn in bins for classrooms.

Desktop Turn In Bins for Classrooms

Use a wire mesh letter tray organizer : Always choose an organizer that has a stackable design  for turn-in trays. I prefer the wire mesh ones because they are strong enough to hold heavy stacks of paper. If you are short on space, stack another tray on top for more tray space.

Use classroom mailboxes : Mailboxes come in different sizes and materials. I find that the wooden ones are the most durable. Use a different slot for each subject. I think that most teachers use the mailboxes for turn in bins because they have enough compartments for a high volume of worksheets.

Depending on the size of your class, you can check out the sizes and materials of different classroom mailboxes in this blog post .

Container Turn In Bins for Classrooms

These are containers, bins, and baskets that you can keep on your teacher desk, classroom table, or countertop, as separate turn in bins for your students:

Plastic baskets : Plastic baskets and trays that are right size for holding stacks of letter sized sheets can be used for turn in bins. They can be assorted bright colors or all of the same color , to match your classroom decor. Just glue the labels on the front.

Use book bins in a storage rack : Book bins make good turn in bins if you have a lot of subject areas to collect work for and less space to store it all. A book bin rack would be necessary to keep the book bins upright.

Wire tray bins : These are individual bins that can be laid out on a table or counter for collecting student notebooks, journals, or worksheets.

Use clear paper containers with lids : I did not know that a storage container like this existed until I happened to come across it. Unlike open baskets, this clear container comes with a locking lid so that if it falls over, the papers remain stacked in it. It also protects the papers from spills. I like that is is transparent so you can see which papers are in there.

Drawer Turn In Bins for Classrooms

Drawers for turn in bins can be mobile drawer carts or modular plastic drawers. These are examples of drawer systems for classroom turn in bins:

A drawer cart : Label a drawer cart with all the homework categories you need. Students can use it to turn in homework for each subject.

Plastic Drawers : These drawers are made to hold letter sized sheets of paper. They come with a pack of blank chalkboard label stickers. You can write your categories on them with a chalk marker. Think of them as a drawer system for turn in bins.

Mix and match combination : If you are short on space but you need a lot of turn-in categories, add extra drawers to what you already have. This teacher first had a Seville drawer cart for a turn in station. Then found that she needed more drawers so she added a three-drawer set  onto what she had before. Both drawers are black and the matching labeling systems make them blend together.

For more size options for the mobile drawer carts you can see more brands and sizes in this blog post that is all about classroom drawer carts on wheels.

There’s also another blog article you can view to see different modular plastic drawers that are made for classroom use.

Wall Hanging Turn in Bins for Classrooms

Pocket chart turn in bins can go on your classroom wall, whiteboard, or over the door. You will have to use adhesives, magnetic tape, or classroom hooks to hang them up (depending on the type of pocket chart). These are examples of wall hanging turn in bins:

Use magnetic pockets as turn in bins for worksheets : There are expandable pouches that can go on any magnetic surface in your classroom like lockers, the sides of your filing cabinet or cupboard, and your whiteboards. Each pouch has a large flat magnet on the back.

Classroom Inbox : Use a file folder pocket chart to make a classroom inbox to track assignments for each period. This would be used daily and the papers can be collected at the end of each day or each class period.

Make a pocket chart turn in bin : A kindergarten teacher made this pocket chart turn in bin for her students have a visual representation of where to turn their work in. She used this pocket chart , and made the labels herself.

See different styles of classroom pocket charts on this blog page . You may need one with more or less pockets than ones above.

I hope you have found ideas for turn in bins for classrooms through this post. If you have any questions, you can ask me anything in the comments below.

I made these free turn in bin labels for teachers, they are editable in Power Point and they come in two sizes.

You can find more free turn in bin labels here for your classroom. There are black and white templates and colorful ones. Some of the labels are PDFs and others are editable in PowerPoint.

More ideas for classroom turn in bins will be added as I find them. Have you created a new way to organize your turn in bin station? If you have, please share about it in the comments. Teachers are the ones who innovate and think up the most creative solutions for their classrooms.

More ideas will be added soon.

18 Feb Visual Tools That Will Make Your Life Easier

Children with Autism are typically visual learners.  They learn by seeing and not necessarily by hearing. If you find yourself giving directions repeatedly, and your child or student is not complying, you may want to consider using visual tools.  Even if you think your child is familiar with his schedule, your classroom or house rules, and the steps involved in completing a task, providing him with visual tools sets him up for success.

Visual tools can be picture strips, written instructions if your child reads, or a combination of pictures and words. You can use them at home, in school, and in the community. You can make your own visual tools by cutting out pictures from magazines and newspapers, or you can take photos of your child while doing a task and use the pictures in a visual schedule.

Visual schedules reinforce structure and routine.  They help your child or student understand what is happening next in his day and assist in recalling past events. You can use photographs, symbols, and/or words, depending on the need. You can try breaking up the schedule into morning and afternoon routines.  Review the schedule with your child in the morning. Have him check off, or in some way visually remove each event as it is completed. This will minimize confusion, and help your child or student clearly know what to expect throughout his day.

1.    Home schedule

Include activities such as mealtimes, bathroom time, chores, outings, quiet time, and homework time. Try including sensory activities throughout his schedule also, especially before and after in-seat activities.

2.    School schedule

School routines usually stay the same.  However, it is still important for your student to have a school schedule to prepare him for changes (i.e. fire drills, special assemblies, playground cancelations because of inclement weather, etc).  Classroom schedules are also wonderful for assisting your student with transitions.

3.    Community schedule

You can minimize meltdowns in the community by showing your child or student photographs of places you are going.  Review the pictures with him before you leave the house or school, before you get out of the car or bus, and throughout your outings.  Be sure to place a photograph of your home or school at the end of the photo series to ensure that your child understands he will come back afterwards .

Task Strips

Post task strips at eye-level in convenient places that are visually accessible to your child or student. Review a task strip with him before an activity occurs. Verbalize each step while pointing to the pictures from left to right. After some time, stop saying the words and simply point to each picture to show him the next step. The task strip will then be the only reminder he needs to complete a task. The goal is for your child or student to complete different chores and tasks independently.

1. Bathroom task strip

Place the bathroom task strip above the toilet paper roll in the bathroom.  If you have a son, be sure to have two strips, one for standing and one for sitting.  Include pulling down pants and underwear, sitting down, wiping (from front to back for girls), flushing the toilet, and washing your hands.

2.    Washing hands task strip

Place this task strip above the sink in all bathrooms in your house or school.  You may even consider taking a washing hands task strip with you when out in the community to remind your child or student of the steps involved.  Include turning on the water, putting soap on your hands, rubbing your hands together and counting to 30, rinsing your hands, drying your hands, and turning off the tap.

Post rules in a convenient and visually accessible place for your child or student. Verbally review the rules before an activity occurs, pointing to the pictures from left to right.  Then review the rules again during the activity. After some time, you can stop saying the words and only point to each picture to remind your child or student what to do next.  Always present rules positively. You can describe what is not expected, but be sure to end the rule with what is expected.  For example, “Don’t hit others. NO! Keep your hands to yourself.”  Commend your child or student when he follows the rules. Point to the rule and say, “I love the way you are keeping your hands to yourself. Good job!”

Here are some rules that you can include in your daily routine:

1. House rules

Decide on your house rules, and place the rules throughout your home.  By visually posting the rules, you are reminding your child of your expectations. You are setting him up for success. You can include rules such as use a quiet voice, keep your hands to yourself, follow adults’ directions, say please and thank you, and use kind words.

2.    Car or Bus rules

Car rules can include keep your hands inside the car, wear your seatbelt, sit straight in your seat, and use a quiet voice.  Review the rules before you start the car.  While driving, if your child is following the rules, be sure to praise him. “I love the way you are keeping your seatbelt on.”

3.    Community rules

Community rules can include stay close, hold my hand, listen to me, use a quiet voice, and keep your hands to yourself.  Review the rules for different places before you leave your home or school, before you get out of the car or bus, and while you are in the new location. If your child is following the rules, be sure to lavish praise on him.

4.    Playtime rules

Playtime rules may vary for different places.  For example, when a child is playing at home the rules are different from when he is playing at the playground at school. Be sure to review the rules before playtime at any location. Playground rules can include wait your turn, go down the slide feet first, and stay close to Mom or the teacher.

5.    Work-time rules

You can use work-time rules with your child during homework time or in-seat activities.  Work rules can include sit in your seat (or sit on the ball, stand at table), use your quiet (or inside) voice, and look at your paper.

yes visuals have been used at our early intervention center at India bangalore. visuals are of great help for parents and children also thank you for the timely updates

Jennifer Lingle

I am glad to hear that visuals are so helpful!

Yes, we have an Afterschool schedule that is divided into work assignments ( usually folders). A work folder in itself is a visual schedule that allows him to be independent and reduces anxiety of the unknown. This way of course was graduated from the strip pic/PECS schedule you have wrote about. We did have schedules for every task…washing hands, eating, showers, dressing, and general transition between activities. My son still needs a little help transitioning. This was a good reminder to break down steps until they ate easily processed before moving forward. Also, it was a realization of how much he has learned. Thank you for posting!

50 High School Accommodations for Every ADHD Challenge

The right to a level playing field doesn’t end after elementary school. here are some of the most effective classroom accommodations to help your child succeed in grades 9 through 12 — without sacrificing personal accountability..

No disability should sentence your child to a 13-year struggle in school. Even in high school, where “responsibility” and “accountability” are stressed, students with ADHD or learning disabilities have a right to reasonable accommodations to help them succeed. It’s not only possible to implement accommodations for these students, it’s crucial to their success — both during the high school years and in the future.

Susan Yellin, Esq. , director of advocacy and transition services at The Yellin Center for Mind, Brain, and Education , says the two most common school difficulties for students with ADHD are input issues and output issues. Input issues are born of distraction — if your mind is wandering, you don’t comprehend what you’re hearing or reading (the input). Additionally, says Yellin, “executive functioning deficits common with ADHD intertwine with output.” A student may struggle to organize an essay, or forget to bring home, complete, or turn in homework. He or she may have learned the material, but still struggle to output the work required to show it. Classroom accommodations can help teens with ADHD manage these challenges, leveling the playing field.

Determining the Right Accommodations for Your Student

To determine the most appropriate and impactful accommodations for your child, first sit down with him to discuss and list his biggest school struggles. Encourage him to describe, in detail, why each one is a struggle, when he’s aware of the reasons. If he’s not sure why he’s having trouble with a certain task or area, brainstorm possibilities together.

Once you have a list of challenges, identify one or more accommodations to address each one. When you’re done, you’ll have a list of struggles and potential solutions ready to present to the school.

Not sure what to ask for? Here are some of the most effective classroom accommodations to help your child succeed in grades 9 through 12 — without sacrificing personal accountability. (Keep in mind, no student will need all of these accommodations.)

Potential High School Accommodations

• Allow extra time on tests so the student is not rushed. Avoid timed tests of basic facts, if possible.
• Provide frequent checks for accuracy during classwork. Set a certain number of problems to complete (one row only, or four or five problems), and check these before the student is permitted to continue.
• List the steps/procedures for multi-step problems and algorithms. Post clearly numbered steps and/or give the student a desk-copy model of the steps needed to solve problems.
• Keep sample math problems on the board and have the student write them in a notebook for reference.
• Reduce the number of problems assigned. Ten completed problems written neatly, with work shown — rather than a full page of problems — is enough to assess a student’s understanding.
• Allow the use of speech-to-text software, such as the free tool in Google Docs or Dragon Dictation .
• Allow the student to substitute written papers or essays for original videos, dioramas, posters, PowerPoint presentations, etc.
• Allow typing instead of writing by hand.
• Offer oral assessments instead of written.
• Give the student writing templates that model correct writing forms (e.g., a persuasive essay, a narrative) and scaffold the writing process with prompts.
• Offer a framework for essay organization — like a graphic organizer, mind map, story map, timeline, the POWER (Plan, Organize, Write, Edit, Revise) method, or software like Draft: Builder , Inspiration , or Xmind .
• Break writing assignments into small steps.
• Don’t grade for neatness.
• Support poor spelling and grammar with contextual spell checkers like Ginger Software or Ghotit Real Writer , or word prediction software like Co:Writer , Word Q or Speak Q.
• Create worksheets and exams using a PDF annotation software like Adobe Reader 11 , Acrobat Reader DC , or Mac Preview, allowing the student to use mouse and keyboard skills to enter responses instead of overtaxing writing skills.
• Read tests aloud to the student.
• Use human-narrated audio books, e-texts with text-to-speech software, or a combination program like Kindle Immersion reading or LearningAlly audiobooks , allowing the student to see and hear the text for improved comprehension.
• Allow the use of highlighters and sticky notes to mark up print books, or literacy software like Kurzweil 3000 to do the same in e-texts, to aid understanding and retention in students with critical thinking issues and poor working memory.

EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING

• Provide an extra set of books to keep at home.
• Set a goal of completing 75 percent of the assigned homework.
• Ask the student twice during class how he will remember facts or rules discussed.
• Provide the student with guided notes or full classroom notes.
• Record audio of the class and then synchronize this with hand-written or typed notes using a tool like the Livescribe Smartpen ,  Notability , or Microsoft OneNote .
• Use assistive technology to help the student keep up with assignments (rather than trying to juggle lots of loose papers).
• Allow the student extended time on classwork, homework, quizzes, and tests.
• Provide detailed, written instructions.
• Email the parent a list of assignments or post assignments to the school website.
• Use a digital notebook or web clipper utility like Evernote to create a cumulative “knowledge bank” of prior learning. These programs simulate a paper binder and automatically retain a link to their source.
• Create folders that are categorized by “next action:” to turn in, give to parents, give to teacher, or complete tonight.
• Allow the student to use a kitchen timer or visual task timer — like Time Timer ,  Watchminder , or DropTask — to see time’s passage and make it less of an abstract concept.
• Provide time once a week for locker cleanout.
• Color-code academic materials. Use green, for example, for all science notebooks, binders, folders, and textbook covers. Keep related classroom books and materials in bins of the same hue.
• Provide study guides several days before a test.

EMOTIONS AND BEHAVIOR

• Offer a calm-down spot or break for the student to use when needed. Create a plan ahead of time so the student can signal the teacher and go to the predetermined break spot without attracting attention and without disruption.
• Schedule a weekly check-in with the guidance counselor and/or the special education teacher.
• Let the student run errands for the teacher to provide a break.
• Check in with the student occasionally to assess mood.
• Have a crisis plan or Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) for angry outbursts, if they’re a frequent problem.
• Post clear expectations and consequences.

MISCELLANEOUS

• Assign an adult mentor to check in with the student and work with him or her on skills and assignments.
• Allow the student to correct mistakes on tests for extra credit.
• Provide a guided study hall period.
• Allow the student to leave class early for more time to change classes or to avoid crowded and overwhelming hallways.
• Invite the student to participate in a social-skills group.
• Seat the student front and center, near the teacher, and away from doors or windows where noise or passing students may be a distraction.
• Cue the student to stay on task with a private signal — a gentle tap on the shoulder, for example.
• Schedule a five-minute period for the student to check over his or her work before turning in homework or tests.
• Illustrate vocabulary words and science concepts with small drawings or stick figures.
• Compliment positive behavior and work.
• Provide an alternative activity other than a large assembly, like a pep rally, for students with sensory sensitivities, anxiety, or overwhelm in crowds.

Implementing Accommodations at School

Once you’ve determined some appropriate accommodations to help your student, the next step is presenting them to the school. When teachers and administrators agree to implement them for your child, you may decide on an informal agreement to that effect, or the accommodations may be included in a 504 Plan or Individualized Education Program (IEP).

A 504 Plan or IEP, says Yellin, is “not a statement to teachers that ‘it might be nice if you implement it.’ An IEP is a legal document stating that the child is entitled to these [accommodations]. Teachers don’t have the option, legally, to ignore this. It’s a contract — a legal statement incumbent on the teachers.”

Nonetheless, you and your teen must be diligent about making sure accommodations are applied. If you find that some or all of your child’s teachers aren’t implementing the accommodations in the classroom, Yellin recommends a nice conversation with teachers first. Bring them a copy of the IEP or 504 Plan and highlight important aspects for them, she advises. Remind teachers that, “When seeking accommodations on the SAT or ACT, you have to show that the student is already using these accommodations in class in order to get them on these types of tests.” Visit collegeboard.org for updated details on securing accommodations on the SAT.

If the parent-teacher meeting doesn’t prompt a change, Yellin says it’s time to escalate. Call an IEP or 504 meeting with the school to come up with a mechanism that ensures teacher compliance. Escalate further to a hearing before a state officer or a civil rights complaint, if necessary. It’s that important, especially during the high school years.

What If Your Student Refuses Accommodations?

Teens with ADHD are notorious for avoiding or refusing help, especially when it calls peer attention to their differences and struggles. If your child is refusing accommodations due to possible social implications, Yellin advises first educating teachers and classmates about ADHD and learning disabilities. “If the teacher is not sufficiently sensitive, put (teacher education) in the IEP.”

You have two choices when your child is pushing back against accommodations at school: heed their input and let them go it alone, or insist on accommodations. If your child would be a B- student without accommodations and a B+ student with them, pushing for accommodations likely isn’t worth the battle and potential stigma. However, if your child is a D or F student without accommodations and an A, B, or C student with them, you should insist on the accommodations.

If your child won’t get on board, conduct an experiment on the efficacy of accommodations. Work with a teacher to give two assessments: one with accommodations and one without. Or do two practice SATs at home, one with extended time and one without. Tell your student, “Let’s see how you do.” If the accommodations make a big difference in performance, it should be clear to your child that they really are a benefit.

Once a child starts high school, the stakes grow higher all around. Not only do grades now matter for getting into college, but “this is also an important opportunity for kids to build their advocacy skills and understand that, once they leave high school, they’re on their own,” says Yellin. “In college, much more responsibility is on them — they have to identify, they have to provide documentation, they have to go to their professors for accommodations.” Pretty soon, it will be all on them — now is the time to make sure they’re prepared.

8 Bollywood films that will turn 25 in 2024

It's 2024, and while that might not mean much to you, a look at these 8 films that will turn 25 this year will make you realise that time is really passing, quite fast! 

Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, starring Salman Khan, Aishwarya Rai, and Ajay Devgn, this romantic drama received critical acclaim and was a commercial success.

Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam

Directed by Sooraj Barjatya, this was the quintessential family drama that was loved by one and all. Not to mention, it was a huge multi-starrer!

Hum Saath-Saath Hain

The film, which gave Shah Rukh Khan the nickname that he now has, also released 25 years back. And, it wasn't a big commercial success then!

1999 was the time when the Khans would strike on the screen, more than once. This Aamir Khan film is also going to turn 25 this year.

Who can forget Ashutosh Rana's memorable performance in this Akshay Kumar and Preity Zinta-starrer? Fun fact, this also marked Alia Bhatt's debut.

Directed by Subhash Ghai, starring Anil Kapoor, Akshaye Khanna, and Aishwarya Rai, this musical drama was well-received for its music and performances.

Yes, this year would also mark 25 years of Amitabh Bachchan doing a double role, and eating meethi kheer. So, which film are you planning to watch and walk down the memory lane?
