Not everybody is fortunate enough to teach in just one, convenient school. Some people need to supplement their main job with secondary and tertiary places of employment. Others choose to diversify or scatter their options so that they can benefit from certain aspects of various institutions.

Those who teach in more than one institution may find that the daily chore of sorting out their belongings and school materials becomes a nightmare.

This can be resolved if you return to your home between institutional assignments. Thus, if you teach in a different location every day, then you return home at night. If you teach in two places in the same day, then you might return home between positions.

In such cases, it would be wise to invest in different attache or teaching cases for each position. Each case remains packed all the time.

A second, smaller case may holds your "movable" items, such as your cell phone and personal items. That case should be transferred to the bag that will be used on any given day. It is the only thing that needs to be moved.

This procedure saves you the bother of packing your bag each day - and of making unnecessary decisions. It keeps your papers sorted out logically. It may be an easy key to your survival as a teacher.
