Looking for a book on classroom organisation? I wrote one . . . .

a teacher style guide to classroom organisation by Sylvia Skinner
A teacher style guide to classroom organisation by Sylvia Skinner

Classroom organisation is about more than creating a tidy space. It’s about designing an environment that fosters learning, reduces stress, and empowers you to thrive as an educator.

Renowned producer, author, and former educator Dr Melissa Caudle recommends A Teacher Style Guide to Classroom Organization by Sylvia Skinner in her weekly blog, Dr Mel’s Message. Known for her work in the film and television industry, Dr Mel draws on her background as a teacher, adjunct professor, and administrator to bridge the gap between education and creativity.

Note: The book title uses American spelling (‘Organization’) as it is published in the United States.

This guide offers practical strategies and actionable insights for teachers of all styles. You’ll discover how to maintain an organised space, boost efficiency, and create a classroom environment that truly supports your teaching practice.

Every purchase helps you grow your teaching toolkit—and also supports teachers working in under-resourced classrooms in the Solomon Islands.
