If you are just starting out your teaching career, you may not know yet what storage and carrying space you will need.

Not all teachers have the same bag requirements, depending on the age of their students, the subject matter being taught, but also on their experience and classroom practice.

Whether you are a school teacher or a high school school teacher, or teaching in a university, a full time teacher or a supply teacher, you should take in consideration your classroom practices :

• Do you teach one or more levels ? 
• Do you teach in one or more differents schools ? 
• Are you a full-time or a supply teacher ? 
• Do you need to carry your laptop or just your USB key ? 
• Do you use digital textbooks or do you use paper textbooks ? 
• Do you carry the teacher's books with you on a daily basis or more experimented teacher ? 
• Do you have an electronic diary or are you old-fashioned ? 
• Do you correct at school or in your school ? 
• Do you carry your pupils' notebooks or their folders at home?

These questions will help you determine the size of the bag that corresponds to the teacher you are.

Then there are other matters like the price and budget, the durability and practicality, the look and aesthetics.

You should also think about choosing a bag or  work bag adapted to the means of transport you use. If you are a cyclist or a pedestrian, you will surely not have the same criteria...

Are you teaching in a multi-floors school without a lift?

Here is a first classification of the possible choices for you to choose according to your needs, taste and budget.

If you don't have the money to buy the leather briefcase of your dreams, here are a few alternatives : a nylon or false leather satchel bag, or a cheap trolley case. If you really don't have the money, opt for your usual handbag and a fashionable XXL tote shopping bag.

Like for example all Ecosusi working bags with their retro and ultra-feminine design, which are also attractive because of their low price.
