Strengthening Organizational Skills.
Brito, Gail; Dorsey, Sharon; Dorey, Sheila; House, Pamela; Nouke, Margaret
This action research project implemented and evaluated a program for establishing organizational skills, utilizing routines and tools that maximize school success. The targeted population consisted of students in four kindergarten classes in a primary school and three third-grade classes in an intermediate school. Analysis of probable cause data indicated that formal instruction of organizational skills was previously lacking. In addition, the teachers felt that a variety of factors, including absence of routine, low motivation and self-discipline, and poor time management, might negatively impact the students' success in school. A review of solution strategies resulted in the development of a systematic program of organizational skills and integration of these skills throughout the year. Through the use of common sense lessons; communication between parents, students, and teachers; goal setting; and positive reinforcement, significant gains in students' organizational skills were documented. (Twenty-six appendices include copies of parents' and staffs' questionnaires and letters, student interviews, lesson plans, teacher observation checklists, helpful hints and suggestions, and project materials. Contains 33 references.) (Author/AA)
