If you haven't made the switch over to a customized teacher planner or binder, I encourage you to give it a try this next school year. It has truly been a game-changer for me. Why did I purchase teacher planners in a one-size-fits-all format for so many years? They never quite met my needs or had everything that I needed in one place.
So, if you're wondering.... YES, YOU CAN HAVE IT ALL!
Four years ago, I never would have considered creating my own teacher planner, until one of my grad school buddies mentioned that she always made her own and had it spiral-bound at an office supply store. This was the start of my creative juices! I'm the kind of person who always sees or hears about a project and thinks "I can do that!" or "I have a better way to do that!"
Last year, my Chevron planner sold over 200 copies. I listened to my buyers and tried to create several different formats and designs to meet the specific needs of each person. It's not a one-format-fits-all, it's every-format-is-included-so-choose-the-one-that-works-for-you. :)
This is just a sneak peek, but to see everything that's included, head over to my Teachers Pay Teachers store and click on the "Preview". I'm hoping to offer at least 3 different versions this year. Chevron, Simplicity and a more generic version that would be a great option for male teachers.
The first step to starting your school year off right is assembling your Teacher Planner or binder. For the past 2 years, I had mine spiral-bound, but this year, I think I'm going to find a really cute 1" binder and keep everything in there. Occasionally I find that I want to remove or add something to my planner, which is near-impossible if it's spiral-bound. So, I'll have to let you know how the binder method works for me this next school year.

I just happened upon your site while looking for forms to build my 'ultimate' teacher binder. Will you be selling the curriculum map alone, or solely as a part of your planner? I love the set up!
ReplyDeleteI would be willing to sell the part you are interested in separately. Could you be a little more specific in which one you were wanting? Are you talking about the 2 pictured at the bottom of my blog post? Or the pacing guide (see the "Preview" on TpT)?
