This TpT author is a member of the 40 Hour Teacher Workweek Club and created this resource to make it easier to plan, implement, and stay organized according to the principles of the club. I also recommend The Reflective Teacher Planner by Excelling in English.(There’s also a bundle with options with colored inside pages here.)

I chose her “Pretty Basic” edition for my club members: it’s professional looking and not too cutesy, has 45 different covers/themes to choose from, and can be edited to fit your specific needs.

April McNair of A Modern Teacher has a version of the teacher binder that is versatile enough to meet the needs of just about any K-5 teacher.

I spent over 2 hours this past spring looking through and purchasing editable binders on TeachersPayTeachers to find the best one because I wanted to partner with a teacher-author to make the binder available at no cost to 40 Hour Teacher Workweek Club members. Of course, there are tons of great options out there, and no one planner is going to be perfect for every teacher. Even if you want to keep everything digitally, you still may want to buy a teacher planner so you have access to the digital versions of these forms. Therefore, I personally recommend keeping your lesson plans digitally, but having a physical binder for other forms and reference. Having all of this information together in binder makes it much easier to stay organized and find info quickly. Planning is about much more than just lessons: you need to keep schedules, transportation lists, field trip forms, seating charts, student passwords, etc. 2) Use an editable teacher binder/planner for everything besides your actual lessons I have not read any major complaints about either platform from teachers and feel very confident recommending them. But and seem to be the most popular, and are user-friendly.

There is a free version of both platforms, but the $12/year plan is well worth it, because that’s what enables all the really valuable time-saving features like re-using lesson plans from year to year.Īre there other online lesson planning platforms out there which are good? Yes.

So if you invest time in setting up your planbook this year, you’re going to have exponentially less work to do in future years when it’s time to plan–all you’ll have to do is adapt things for your current group of students. What I love about both and is that you can insert CCSS or other standards through a dropdown menu, and share lesson plans with team members or your admin digitally. Most importantly, you can re-use the same lesson documentation from year to year.

I don’t know of any compelling reason to pick one over the other (though if you do, please let me know in the comments!)

My personal recommendation and preference is to use a combination of digital and paper planning as follows: 1) Use or for formal lesson plan documentationĭespite the confusingly similar names, these are two completely separate companies/platforms. I have heard amazing things about both from teachers, and both seem to offer the same features. There will always be new and maybe even better options out there, but you can drive yourself crazy if you spend too much time worrying about that. If you already have a planner you love, stick with it! Don’t get caught up in FOMO (fear of missing out) and waste hours researching other options when you’ve already found a good system. The most important thing to remember is that every teacher’s needs are different: there is no one perfect planner that is right for every person. This post is not sponsored and is my completely unbiased opinion, based upon my own research and the experiences of hundreds of teachers I’ve discussed this with in The 40 Hour Teacher Workweek Club and other Facebook groups. I see questions about the best teacher planner asked approximately 3,427 times a day in July and August, so I thought I’d share a system that seems to work well for many teachers.
