Education is different from many professions in how teachers seldom have their own space. The classroom is a shared space between students and teachers alike, and teachers seldom have it to themselves. Even during planning periods, many teachers find another teacher or another class in their room. After school, the classroom is often co-opted for after-school care or extracurricular activities. In this environment, the teacher desk, so often relegated to a back corner, isa refuge for the educator to think, plan, and work. The teacher desk must simultaneously be a place where an educator can escape from the chaos, and where a teacher is most productive. This is why stocking your desk with the right materials is important. Getting up and crossing the room to get some material or another is damaging to productivity, and can also be physically difficult and potentially distracting if there’s another class in your room. At the same time, a disorganized or cluttered desk is likely to add stress instead of being the calming oasis that it should be. So, what should you have at your desk? Our suggestions are below:
