Scholastic Teaching Resources SC-810488 Teacher Inspiration Planner, Price/EA

When it came planning our educational adventures for the new school year I needed a little help gather all of my ideas into one place. This is just the perfect product to help me do so! It is very simple in design, but very colorful and super cute! So many helpful pages are included. Very easy to customize for our homeschool needs. The sturdy cardboard cover will stand up to the test of time for the entire school year.

This is a nice way to make the standard teacher planner a little bit more special. The focus of this one is a dabbling of inspirational quotes to help boost the spirit of the average teacher. The font and styling of the book is just beautiful and is a little something extra. Beyond that, this is as good a basic planner can get, with the roomy two-page spread plan books need. Something I would recommend as a gift.

This is a nice planner that has some interesting tidbits throughout.

This is a nice sized spiral bound book. It has a laminated cover and laminated tabs for each month. It also has a pocket folder in the back. The very first page is user names and passwords. Uh, no. That is a terrible idea. But the resources list is good to have in the front.There also a place to write student names and contact info. Then, there is a section to list student birthdays. The calendar is ready for you to fill in the dates, so it can be used on any year you wish. The date boxes are decent sized and there is room in the margin for notes on the page. There is also a full page for notes between each month. The month dividers/tabbed pages have inspirational and encouraging phrases on them. After the months, there is a section for schedule with classes, time and subjects for each week (M-F) for planning. This could also be handy for music teachers and people who give private lessons or tutoring, in addition to traditional classroom use. It makes a nice gift for a teacher.

Made a new teacher very happy...far beyond a regular yearly calendar. Had places for seating charts, grades, and other info. Needs pockets, but otherwise useful. Undated too, so can be used or started any time.

Here's why this is a great product... First, you get to customize this for any year you'd like. The dates are not filled in, you can put them in for whichever year/months you desire. You have special note sections throughout the book and in the front it has a page where you can fill out special information on yourself and even a page for passwords and logins. The best part is the back of the book. You have a 34;teacher planner34; section. You can customize this section too. It offers a 34;Week Of34; section where you can also enter the date in which you are teaching. Then it will give you the option of adding a time in which you teach that particular subject and a 34;subject34; area. For each of these dates/subjects you have about 6 lines to add notes for that day. You can use this area for planning, behavior notes, topics...it is endless. The book is very colorful and offers section dividers with fun quotes. I also appreciated the 34;pocket34; folder in the back of the book for all those loose papers we seem to 34;need34; but aren't sure where to put them. As a teacher I love this entire book. Negatives: The only down side to this is it is fairly large. And, also heavy. Often times the calendar I use is much smaller, but this one holds more...like the weekly planner (which I often do on notebook paper...and drag it around with me anyway!). I plan on using this next school year too!
