If I had to rely solely on one object throughout the school year, I think that would be my planner. For English teachers, a good planner is more than just a schedule-keeper; it’s a lifeline that helps us manage the chaos and stay organised amidst the flurry of daily activities. But what should a good planner include to be truly effective?
Comprehensive Planning Pages: A good planner offers both daily and weekly layouts. Daily pages help detail your lesson plans, appointments, and to-do lists, while weekly overviews allow you to see the bigger picture and plan ahead.
Flexibility and Space: Look for planners with ample space to jot down notes, reminders, and sudden ideas that strike during class. Flexibility is key, allowing you to adapt your plans as needed.
Inspiration and Motivation: Engaging content, like motivational quotes or humorous anecdotes, can keep your spirits high. A planner that incorporates humour or uplifting messages can make even the busiest days a bit brighter.
Tracking Tools: Features like a password tracker, grading sheets, and assessment trackers can simplify administrative tasks and keep everything in one place.
When I’m writing this it’s almost August… and you know what that means, don’t you? I know it’s rude to talk about back to school…but we know it’s coming. So, why not be prepared already?
Imagine navigating the school year with a planner that not only keeps you on track but also brings a smile to your face.
