I LOVE clipboards. I use it when I take attendance. I use it when I am assessing students. I use it to jot down notes while I walk around a class as the student watch a movie. AND, I definitely plan to use them as an opportunity to allow my future students/writers to sit in corner of classrooms and write. Clipboards are the functional desktops for anyone who wants to write something…anything.
And so, Clutter-Free Classroom did the classroom teacher a favor by compiling ideas of how to organize, display, and store clipboards in the classroom or around the office.
Fantastic advice. I wish I’d seen this before.

I strive for a day when the very act of putting down on paper your ideals of education is normal. I strive for a day when all teachers approach teaching as a art, as a reflective practice of growth. Crafting your own ideals and philosophies of education can be the first step in creating real and meaningful reform in the world. I strive for a day when teachers see themselves as philosophers and look within to find truth. I strive for a day when learning how to teach is not learned from textbooks and college courses, but an active practice of reflection and sharing of ones life.
Books won’t stay banned. They won’t burn. Ideas won’t go to jail. In the long run of history, the censor and the inquisitor have always lost. The only sure weapon against bad ideas is better ideas. The source of better ideas is wisdom. The surest path to wisdom is a liberal education.
What the examiners say they want.
