This might be a silly question/concern, but I was wondering what others do regarding printing a daily plan for each student each day of study. Initially, I thought everyone just had a general ‘daily subjects to cover’ available for each student to view (similar to the daily planner SCM provides) and each item worked on/completed was marked accordingly in the SCM organizer at end of each day. After reading postings on the forum, it sounds like users are actually printing a copy of the daily plan every day for each student to mark and the parent (or older student) to check off of the SCM organizer.
In thinking this over, I love the idea of the student having a hard copy in front of them, but am concerned with the possible paper waste and cost of printing. As I said, I am in favor of the daily hard copy, but am wondering what is done with it once it’s marked accordingly in the SCM organizer. If there are other reasons for keeping a daily hard copy, I’d appreciate someone sharing their use of it.
My thought was to keep a printed copy for each day, with the specific assignments whited out and then placed in a plastic sheet protector. The student could then use a wet erase marker and mark his daily accomplishments for parent to mark in SCM organizer. (Markings are wiped clean for the next week.) Whenever assignments change, a new daily assignment sheet could be printed and the old one replaced from the sheet protector. I hope I’m explaining myself clearly. It’s a thought – a possible alternative to printing daily sheets IF there is truly not a strong need to keep the daily printings on file.
What are you, organizer users, doing? Your sharing would be much appreciated.
Make it a great day!
