Teacher Planner: For Productivity, Time Management & Peace of Mind (2019-2020 PLANNER | MAY 2019 TO DECEMBER 2020) Paperback – September 29, 2018

I homeschool three of my kids and this planner is great because there is so much space for each subject. I especially love the ability to write in the subjects we will be focusing on since that can change on a weekly basis. This planner is such great quality and best of all it isn’t spiral bound so you don’t have to write around an obstacle. Love the navy and pink together!

The Teacher Planner is not just for teachers. The planner is highly versatile, so students or anyone can use the planner as well.The planner starts with a variety of spreads at the beginning (some specifically for teacher, but you can be creative and turn the spread into something else) followed by monthly and weekly spreads. The yearly calendar has very small boxes, but it’s great for writing down all your assignment, exams, projects, etc. and having them all on one page. The monthly spread is very spacious and allows for maximum planning for the month. The weekly spread is great for planning a busy week, and the spread can be used in different ways, such as having the left boxes as an events list or having it be titles for the boxes on the right side.The planner itself has a beautiful cover. It’s printed on high quality card stock with a protective layer on top, so you don’t have to worry about damaging the cover. When you open the planner and fold down the cover, it doesn’t damage the binding as well.The pages are slightly rough, but you can still easily write and do brush lettering on it. Depending on what kind of pens and/or markers you use, ghosting and bleeding can happen. You can also see some ghosting from the printed spreads on the pages itself.Overall, for the price you are paying, it’s a good planner, and you are getting a planner that is functional and great for staying organized. I would recommend this planner for those that need an affordable planner.

I love its beautiful cover and how it’s not enormously thick either, unlike some planners I’ve had in the past.One of the features that I’m most excited about it is the goal section and how they help you break it down in to chunks. Obviously, that’s basically goal setting 101, but sometimes I forget to write it down and end up feeling overwhelmed.I also like the calendar spreads, especially the boxed one. I haven’t seen a calendar spread like that in a planner before and I like seeing my whole month on one line and it gives me a nice gauge for how busy I’ll be in a given month.The planning spreads are undated which is nice since I’m not always on top of filling out a teacher planner and so if I skip a week, I don’t have to waste a whole bunch of pages.The password log will be super helpful as I work on going more digital with my students and I’ll have an easy place to log all of my passwords and sites.The only two sections of this planner that I’m not sure I’ll use very much are the seating charts and grade book. I keep my gradebook digitally and so see no need to write it all down on paper and I have a flexible seating arrangement in my classroom, so the rigid set up in this planner doesn’t really work for me, but I can see it being useful for other teachers with more traditional classrooms.

This planner is a great starting off point for teachers. I definitely think it would be helpful to leave on a desk for a substitute who may be coming in, as it has a place for important people and contacts in the school that a substitute may not know as well as emergency procedures. If I was a regular teacher who was there every day, this isn’t necessarily info I would need. It also has a place to break down your schedule up to 4 times in a school year (which is great for high school or college where your schedule may change every quarter). I love that it gives extra places to add holidays that aren’t standard as well as specific to your school time off. The monthly at a glance is huge (which I LOVE). The more space the better. There is also plenty of room to break down each subject for each day. This would be great for any grade. As great as I think it is to have a seating chart, I’m not sure that this one works the best. Seating is very different now so only have this one set up would make it hard to organize for your classroom. I think having maybe a dot grid page that I could draw my own chart on would be more useful. I would probably never use the attendance/ grade chart. All of our grades and attendance is digital so it’s just unnecessary. I would also NEVER write down my passwords in here. Especially with nosy students wandering around, it’s just a bad idea. I like the textbook list section and I wish it were bigger. It would be a great place to write down what books I may be thinking of using throughout the school year. Overall, this has a lot of helpful sections and some that I probably wouldn’t use but a great starting point to get things organized! (I also pen tested the paper with 4 different pens and none of them bleed but they do shadow, but still great for the price!)

I gave this to my friend (who's not even a teacher) and she loves it. It's really helpful for people who prefer to manage their schedule the traditional way - pen on paper - instead of using an electronic gadget, and pretty much for everyone who wants to keep track of their time and appointments. This is recommended for people with hectic schedules like students and working adults. Students and teachers will find this especially handy, as it is paperback, thin, light-weight and fits just nicely into a handbag or backpack. The papers are of good-quality and does not bleed through (unless you're using a sharpie marker to write on it). There is plenty of space to write short notes, appointments and reminders on each page. The book includes a monthly and daily calendar, as well as spaces to write about school events and activities. Plus, the book cover is really pretty! This is definitely a steal for a planner that costs less than $10! You can't get a better deal than this one.
