Your Teacher Lesson Plan Book

A Plan Book is SO Personal

I didn’t realize how personal a teacher plan book was for a long time. Everybody has different opinions about what should be in a plan book. I’ve been through every type of plan book there is. I worked with the printables, the premades, the calendars – you name it, I tried it.

I’m a very “keep it simple” kind of girl, so for me, I’m currently using this weekly plan book where I just write my lesson codes (listen to that episode here) and the names of absent kids. And that’s it.

With everything going digital in a moment’s notice, I think the importance of a digital planner has been underestimated. I think the best part of digital planning is that fact that it is SO easily edited, and even more easily shared. And I’m talking sharing with both adults and students. In my All Star Planning Masterclass, I talk specifically about sharing this information with students. Sign up here.

Sharing files is so easy when they are digital (especially when saved in the cloud). This can make coteaching or coplanning much easier. When this is done in Google Drive, groups of teachers can collaborate on the same document and you cut down on your planning time. Plus it’s super easy to make edits, when the time to makes changes comes.
