Color-coded bins. Rainbow task boxes. Laminated schedules with pastel tabs. We’ve seen it all… but does it actually help?
In this episode of the Special Educators Resource Room Podcast we’re cutting through the color-coded chaos. I’m sharing the real reason I use color coding in my classroom (hint: it has nothing to do with aesthetics). You’ll hear how I use stickers behind the scenes to keep track of skill areas, make my planning faster, and train team members—without confusing students or overcomplicating routines.
We’ll also talk about what to skip when it comes to color coding—like why I don’t match bins or label students by color—and how to build a simple system that supports independence all year long. Whether you’re team binder, basket, or bin, this episode will help you use color with intention… and a lot less stress.
