As a teacher trying to bring their A-game to the classroom, it can be difficult to do that without the right materials. As much as some people may say that the success or failure of a student depends entirely upon the teacher, if that teacher isn't set up for success – if they don't have the resources necessary to get the job done and done right – then there's no chance from the start. Our children deserve better than that.
That's why our children deserve top quality classroom supplies. While things like books, writing utensils, chalk and/or markers for the board, posterboard and other sundry arts and crafts supplies are all necessary, there is one thing a classroom can't do without in the classroom materials department. That, of course, is printable school materials.
Printable materials are renewable, can be altered over time as you learn what works best for you and your students, and can even be altered for differentiation in the classroom. The only other equipment you need with printable materials is a printer, an ink cartridge, and paper to print it on, not to mention a computer to process all that. With your materials available for creation, alteration, and improvisation at any hour of the day, you can easily produce whole units or even semester plans.
Special needs teaching supplies can vary depending on the needs of your students, but printable classroom materials actually lend themselves to special needs students as well. The ability to alter a single worksheet, let's say, into a kaleidoscope of different worksheets, each differentiated for each student's particular learning needs, is a powerful tool in a special needs classroom. Better yet, it's affordable!
Science classroom materials tend to be what runs up a school's classroom materials bill. After all, each discipline of science, to be truly interactive and engaging and educational, requires the materials of its particular field. Geology needs rocks, biology needs living (or once-living) specimens, chemistry requires chemicals, physics requires all manner of weights and scales and strange contraptions. (We don't talk about physics. Better just to let them do their thing.) Still, when you need science materials for classroom instruction, printable materials are a top notch way to teach a lesson without necessarily having to break out the beakers and moon rocks.
So when you find yourself in a bare classroom, full of desks, children, and nothing else, think of your computer back home, and the practically limitless classroom supplies within. Between your imagination and the Internet, you can produce plenty of ways to educate your students in a differentiated and yet efficient manner. What school district doesn't want to hear that?
