Guide

How to use a teacher planner

A teacher planner has two jobs: planning lessons ahead, and keeping a record of what actually happened (who was absent, which parent you called, what the sub needs to know). Set up the records once in August and the weekly planning gets faster.

  1. Set up rosters and seating in the first week

    Fill in the class roster with parent contacts and sketch each seating chart. There are two of each, so you can redo them after the first few weeks.

  2. Plan lessons a week or two ahead

    The weekly lesson plan is six periods by five days. Write the topic and one key activity in each cell; detailed notes can go on notes pages.

  3. Take attendance on the monthly grid

    Each month has an attendance page with a row per student and a column per day, so absences are easy to count at report time.

  4. Log every parent contact

    Date, student, reason and follow-up. When a meeting comes up later in the year, you have the history in one place.

  5. Keep sub plans ready

    Fill in the substitute plan pages before you need them: where materials are, which students can help, and emergency procedures.

  6. Use the gradebook for quick checks

    The gradebook pages have blank column headers, so you can track whatever you grade: quizzes, homework, reading levels. Write the headings once per term and add marks as you go, so report writing starts from records rather than memory.

What to include in a teacher planner

Teachers need a planner that doubles as a record book. This one includes:

Calendar

Weekly and monthly pages

School-year month pages and a weekly page for every week, starting in August by default. Daily pages are off by default; switch them on to get a page per day with a period-by-period lessons table, reminders and a to-grade list.

  • Weekly Lesson Plan · every week
  • Attendance · every month
  • Gradebook · 4 pages
  • Parent Contact Log · 3 pages

Work

Projects & Meetings

Project planners and meeting notes for department meetings, school trips and committee work.

  • Project Planner · 8 pages
  • Meeting Notes · 24 pages
Well

Wellness

Teaching is draining. A monthly wellness tracker and self-care menu are there to protect evenings and weekends.

  • Year in Pixels · 1 page
  • Self-Care Menu · 1 page
  • Wellness Tracker · every month

Every section can be switched off in the builder, and sections from other planners can be added.

Digital vs printable teacher planner

A digital teacher planner keeps lesson plans, attendance and the gradebook on one iPad, and the tabs make it fast to switch between them mid-lesson.

A printable teacher planner suits teachers who prefer a binder on the desk. Print on US Letter or A4, and print extra attendance or gradebook pages as classes change. Both versions are included, so you can do lesson planning on the tablet and keep a printed attendance record.

An example week in a teacher planner

One goal, followed through a single week. The milestone and weekly actions are the kind of lines the AI goal step writes onto your month and week pages; the daily notes are what you add by hand.

Goal

Leave school by 5pm three days a week

Milestone for September

Leave by 5pm on at least two days every week

Questions

Teacher planner questions

Read the full FAQ
How many periods does the lesson plan have?

Six periods across Monday to Friday by default, with room to write subjects and notes in each cell.

Is student data safe?

The planner is a file on your device. We never see what you write in it.

Are there teacher planner examples I can see?

Yes. The sample pages above are rendered by the same engine that builds yours, and the free preview lets you flip through every page of your own version, including the lesson plan, attendance and gradebook, before you buy.

Is there a free teacher planner?

You can build this teacher planner and flip through every page in your browser for free, with a watermark. The tabs and links work in the preview, so you can check the layout before you pay. The clean PDF is $9 once, or included in Pro at $29 a year for unlimited planners. There is no free download of the full planner.

Does it work with GoodNotes, Notability, Samsung Notes and e-ink tablets?

Yes. Download the iPad size for GoodNotes, Notability, Noteshelf, Xodo, Collanote or ZoomNotes; the Android size for Samsung Notes, Penly, Flexcil or Xodo; or the E-ink size for reMarkable, Kindle Scribe, Boox and Supernote. The links work in any app that follows PDF links, usually in read mode rather than pen mode. Every size is included in the price.

Can I print the teacher planner?

Yes. Choose A5, A4, US Letter or Half Letter in the builder for a printable PDF with a wider inner margin for hole punching. Printable and digital sizes come with the same purchase, so you can use the teacher planner on a tablet and print the pages you want on paper.

When does the 2026–2027 teacher planner start?

It starts in August and runs to July by default. In the builder you can choose any start month and year, including this month so you don't pay for pages that are already past, and a 12 or 18-month length. Switch to undated if you'd rather write the dates yourself.

Does the AI fill in the teacher planner for me?

Only the goal parts, and only if you want it to. Type up to six goals and the AI writes a milestone for each month and a short action for each week onto your month and week pages, plus a motto for each month. You can edit every line before you download. Everything else, from the calendar pages to the trackers, is yours to fill in by hand. You can try it 3 times a day without an account.

Make it yours in about a minute.

Set your dates, device and goals, flip through the preview free, and pay only when it's right.
