The Together Teacher: Plan Ahead, Get Organized, and Save Time! [With CDROM]
by Maia Heyck-Merlin
Very detailed and thorough explanation of how a teacher can create their own system of organization that is streamlined and efficient. I read David Allen's "Getting Things Done" last year and loved it, but this book is even more impressive in that it takes similar ideas and processes and applies them to the world of teaching.
My one very very small critique would be that it highlights teachers who seem to spend a very very large amount of time at school and are very dedicated to working full blast--this isn't surprising in that the author is partnered with a number of charter school teachers. However, I think on top of reading this book and learning how to manage your paperload and workloads effectively, teachers should also read Jackson's "Never Work Harder Than Your Students" and "Embedded Formative Assessment" by Dylan William as enormously wisely and practical books on streamlining your practice so that you aren't suffering from overwork, a disease that teachers are most often guilty of giving to themselves.
