Teacher Planners

A teacher planner has to hold a whole school year: lessons, students, grades, meetings and the notes a substitute will need on the day you are out. This guide covers what a good teacher planner includes and what is inside ours for 2026-27.

How the lesson-plan pages work

Each week is one page: Monday to Friday across the top with the dates filled in, and six periods down the side, each with lines to write the lesson. The weeks run from August 3, 2026 to June 25, 2027, so they cover most school calendars; skip the weeks you are on break.

Teacher planner for preschool and elementary

Six periods suits most elementary and secondary timetables. Preschool teachers often use the periods as blocks: circle time, centers, outdoor play, story and so on.

Printing for a teaching team

For personal and classroom use: print as many copies as your household or class needs. Each teacher on a team should have their own copy.

How we make every planner

Every planner is generated by computer from the calendar itself, so nothing is typed by hand and nothing can be misprinted.

Dates generated, not typed
Every calendar is built from the year itself, so every date falls on the right weekday.
Every week, in order
Weekly pages are checked to run one after another with no gaps or repeats.
Every edition included
Paper planners in US Letter, A4 and A5, the iPad planner in landscape, each with Sunday and Monday start, all in one download.
Clean calendars
No holidays printed, so you add the days that matter to you.
