The Delaney Card is a method of classroom management. This small card has been used extensively in the New York metropolitan area since the 1960s. Each Delaney card would contain the name of one student in class. The teacher would have a large book with sturdy cardboard pages with small slots cut out. Each slot would hold a Delaney card. The cards would be placed according to the position of each student's desk, much like law school professor's class face books. Each card had printed on it a grid of months and days that the teacher used to keep track of the student's attendance.
The New York Times profiled the cards and their creator, Edward C. Delaney, in 2003.
