The Printable Teacher Planner in 3 Designs!

I'm so excited to finally show everyone what I've been working on!  I wanted to give my Teacher Planner a little makeover this year and I ended up creating 3 designs- a new take on the original Apple, Colored Pencil and Lots of Dots.

Read on for more photos, sample and information about all of the printable teacher goodies I have in my shop!  [ Updated for each school year! ]


First, let's talk about the designs.  When I decided to update the Apple pattern I had originally planned to just replace it with a new theme- Colored Pencils!  In the end, I decided 2 designs were better than 1!

Several customers have said they love the planner, but would like a design that was colorful and not as focused on the apple print.  I took my Lots of Dots pattern and created a third design for those who aren't digging the Apples or Pencils.



I'm going to give a sample of the pages for all 3 designs, but keep in mind each design has its own listing and the photos on the listings can be zoomed.

* What's Included in Your Planner?



Each planner starts with a themed index page so you know exactly what's included and where you can find it in your planner!

Let's go through each section, the bonus items and other related items in my shop!

1.  2017-2018: Planning Pages




The 2017-2018 section starts with a Year-on-1-page for the last half of 2017 and all of 2018.  I was able to fit in a blank notes section if you want to jot anything down or create a key.


There is a Birthdays to Celebrate spread and an Important Dates and Holidays spread so you can write down all of those special days that'll you'll need to remember this year.

2.  August 2017 - July 2018 Calendar Spread with Monthly Tabs



For the Teacher Planner I always condense the weekend spaces to give extra room for planning on the right side.  The calendars run Monday-Friday and include light lines to help you write neatly.



This year I decided to alternate monthly colors so each month looks a little different!  The days of the week colors are consistent, but the month header and months ahead will match their tab colors.

3.  TEACH: Theme Planner, Lesson Plans and Blank Project Planners



The Lesson Planning section starts out with a monthly theme planner page with colorful, lined boxes for each month and a lined lesson planning notes page.


I know how important lesson planning is so I redesigned these pages to include more space!  The planner runs Monday-Friday down the left side and has 7 spaces for subjects at the top.  



The boxes are lined with an alternating light/dark color and each space is approximately 1.93" H x 1.82" W.

Themed project planner pages are also at the end of this section.  The page is blank and each design has a different design!

4.  CLASS: Class Roster, Seating Chart and Attendance Log



The class roster sheet includes 32 space with last name, first name, phone # and notes spaces.  You'll also get a grid seating chart page so you can sketch out your classroom seating arrangement!


Track your students attendance with this colorful attendance log!

5.  GRADES:  Grade Tracking Pages



The grade tracker matches the attendance log design but gives a little more space to write down the assignment name at the top.  

If you need more of these pages (or any pages in the planner) just select the page range and print more!  The beauty of a printable planner is you can print as many pages as you need.

6.  TRACK IT: Passwords, Classroom Sign Out, Library Sign Out, Fees, Parent Communication and Volunteer List



The Track It section starts with a password log that includes 8 spaces.  You can always print another page if you have more accounts!  A classroom sign out sheet is included so you can keep track of what has been taken home and when it is returned.


Keep a record of borrowed books with the library sign out sheet and make sure everyone has paid for that field trip with the fees checklist!


Make notes during parent meeting and phone calls and ask for volunteers to help out!

7.  LISTS: BIG To Do List and Shopping List



These BIG colorful checklists are perfect for keeping a running list for your classroom!

8.  NOTES: Themed Notes Pages



There are 3 different notes page designs at the back of each planner that coordinated with them overall design- each planner is different!

9.  BONUS! Daily and Weekly Planner Pages



Some bonus planning pages are included as a BIG THANK you for purchasing this planner!


These pages are optional and can be added to your or used on their own to create a new planner!

Custom Covers Available



Along with the Teacher Planners there are 4 custom cover designs to choose from in the Teacher section of my shop.  Just choose a pattern, leave your personalization info at checkout and your custom cover will be emailed to you!

2017-2018 Teacher Planner Designs Coming Next Week!

This year I've given the Teacher Planner a little makeover and added 2 new designs!  I've simplified some of the page layouts, made more room for filling in the lesson planner spread and added more color.  You'll love the 2017-2018 version of this planner!


I took the original apple pattern and created a fun new design!  It will still have all of the same great pages as before, but with a cleaner style.  The new designs are also easier to resize to fit any planner you like!  Read here for more information about resizing printable planner pages.


These cute little colored pencils started as a simple page design detail and I decided to turn them into their own planner!  Colored pencils can be found on the calendar, lesson planner and sprinkled throughout the pages.  The Pencil version of this planner is fun and colorful much like the Apple design.


I had a few requests from high school and middle school teachers who wanted an equally fun, but slightly more grown up version of the planner.  I took my Lots of Dots pattern and created a design that's colorful and will work well for those teaching at a secondary level.


All 3 designs will be released in my shop next week!  I'll be announcing a specific date and more details on Instagram and Facebook later this week!

Thank you so much for visiting my blog!
