Organizational strategies include devices and habits that save time. Some of these strategies include: (a) Lesson Plans, (b) Spacing plans, (c) Equipment plans, and (d) Given Tasks.

• Give structure to each individual class.
• Allows quick access to a specific portion of the lesson.

• Will allow teachers to prepare everything needed before class.
