A few months ago, one of my best friends from high school and I were talking. You see, Elizabeth is a high school teacher too, but unlike me, she teaches English in Columbus, OH. Throughout the last 10 years, we’ve maintained our friendship, sharing our best teaching tips and talking about our best and worst days in the classroom (and other important things… like Game of Thrones). Liz and I share a love for organization and having the perfect classroom. This year, I finally looked into Liz’s beloved planner company. Well, friends, I am sure glad that I did! This company makes planners for everything— academic, wedding, life, and TEACHER, to name a few! They even make planners with hourly layouts for people like Erin (a hairstylist, if you’re new here) that book appointments. Erin already has her new one picked out for 2018! I’m picky when it comes to organizing. I’ve turned my nose up at planners before that just weren’t good enough for what I use them for at work. Until now. Teachers, you’re going to be SO excited when you see all that comes with! (Keep reading for a $10 off coupon!!)
This will be perfect for recording phone interactions with parents.

Love that there is a lesson plan section like this with more than enough pages! As the school year goes on, my seven sections of classes may be on different material, so it’s good to have the seven different columns!
I’ll be keeping track of homework assignments here.
Yeah. Pretty amazing right? It’s literally a planner made just for teachers with all of this AMAZING stuff that we need in a planner. The holy grail of planners, alas. You can also customize and add extra pages of anything you might need more of. Personally, I was good with exactly what came in it already and I have just under 200 total students this year. The covers are super cute and customizable. They’re interchangeable, so you can even buy more if you’re into that. Personally, I’m happy with my “Metallic Petals” in rose gold, with a rose gold coil. Of course. There are also stickers in the back for easy planning and reminders. Here are some photos of what comes with this planner.
It came with a plan-it pouch with some awesome stuff inside. I did buy some of the items you see inside it now.
Some of the stickers found in the back of the planner (4 sheets of various types).
Of course, I had to do my research and find what else I might need for my new glorious planner. Then, I found these amazing things on Amazon. Everything you could ever need is in here, teacher friends!! SO many helpful, relevant stickers that you can easily throw in your planner when you have a meeting scheduled or stuff to grade! If you look at my calendar pages at the top, you will already see that I’m utilizing them! Don’t worry, they make these non-teacher style too so that other professions can use them as well!
Oh, and if you’re into positive, motivational quotes, you’ll love this! Check out the planner’s divider pages that begin each month. The quotes are teacher-appropriate for the teacher planner, but the other planners have regular motivational quotes.
Ok, as you can see, this planner was a great decision for me. In a world filled with technology, planning can be done so many ways. I know my calendar is on my iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and MacBook. I’m as tech-loving as one gets but, I still need to be able to visually see my week or month and write things down. So, let’s talk details. Yes, they are a bit on the pricy side, but rightfully so. Erin Condren is a small business success story and the high-quality planners and accessories are made right here in the USA and personalized with great customer service all the way through the assembly line. Needless to say, I’m impressed and I will be a returning customer. Now, the good news is if you use my referral code and create an account upon visiting the website, a $10 off coupon code will be e-mailed to you just moments later! I used $10 off coupon from my friend, Liz! I’m extending my referral code to all of our readers who might be in the market for a new planner! You’re going to LOVE it. I had to share this post with you as soon as possible for all of you that are teachers or even college students heading back to school yourself. It is the perfect tool for an organized school year! Happy planning!

Ashley
