Back to School Planning in my Teachers Planner

Don't forget to pin me to Pinterest ._.

Wow, the 6 weeks holiday went so quickly and now it's 'back to school' time. Great I hear the parents cry and wahhhh I hear the teachers wail! As a teacher, I need to plan my working work quite meticulously. Read on for my back to school planning / planner and teacher planner setup for the new academic year in my Travelers Notebook (as part of the Planner Girls Collective).

Teacher Planner:

For my teacher planner I am using a travelers notebook that I bought from Ebay very cheaply (and it's real leather). I love the versatility of using a tn as I can add notebooks and replace them when full. I use three inserts; A Diary (week on two pages), a monthly planner from Travelers Times and a blank notebook for notes and meeting information. I have added some drama teacher decoration to the cover and used the Teacher Planner kit from Jo at Little Rainbow Moon 
The kit is amazing and has teacher related event stickers, inspirational quotes, term stickers and a whole array of other teacher related goodies.

​To store my stickers and timetable, I have made a pocket at the back of the insert, which I made by covering the insert with scrapbook paper and folding over the back piece. I can also keep important student notes in here too.​

Travelers Notebook Diary Inserts:

​The standard diary insert I use is from Queen Mabel and Doris on Etsy (you can get 15% off if you use the code QMDFRIEND15). I love how it has boxes to write in on the right and I have used these to add my homework set / to collect and detentions lists for the week. I also have a mini code of M and R in the check boxes to say whether I have a Meeting or Rehearsal after school (I'm a drama teacher).

I use the weekly insert to write my classes and what they are working on and sometimes add a red or green smiley face sticker to say whether it was a good or bad lesson. I can then use the notes section at the bottom to follow up on any issues as they arise.

Since using this system I would never go back to a standard teachers planner. This is much more teacher friendly and also works out cheaper too (although I do buy the inserts myself rather than going through the school budget).
