Fabulous Features in the Teacher Planner - 3 Tips from a Teacher
- Its awesome to know about special theme days as a teacher, e.g. Science Fiction day, and plan fun lessons around those. So check the preprinted national holidays and theme days, and use your imagination to create something fun around them!
- If you have older students, the monthly overview is perfect for writing down their work experience dates. Use a different color for each student and highlight those weeks theyll be away and where.
- When you create your own planner, you get the opportunity to add personal dates. Enter all your students birthdays so you can always surprise them with a Happy Birthday class chorus on their big day!
Working as a teacher can be a wild ride, and no matter how much you plan, sometimes things dont go exactly as intended. A colleague falls ill, and you have to step in; assignments get postponed; the field day gets washed out.
These things happen, and when plans change, its great to be able to change and write down the new plans in your planner.
