all new: Teacher Planner!

 

eeeek I am so so so excited about this you guys!!  It’s here – a couple of months in the making – my newest baby!!!  oooohweee I really don’t know which is harder – creating actual babies –or creating my planner babies?! ha-ha just kidding ;)  And, I have to give a huge MEGA thank you to my teacher friend April, who helped me every step of the way in creating this massive 2014/2015 teacher planner!

So, I’m working with & trying out a bunch of new tools that I will most likely roll out with the other planners too!!  This time I decided to find an at home binding system that allowed me to customize it more, and to remove & add pages – the one drawback to the planners of the past.

For this 2014/2015 teacher planner, my 1st preference, and what I would recommend, would be to try out the system I’ve started to use, the disc binding system :)  Alternatively you can have it bound at your local office store (my 3rd preference), or 3-hole punch it & toss it together into a 3-ring binder (my 2nd preference).  I’m not really a 3-ring binder kinda gal – I don’t like the abrupt, clunky, chunkiness of it all.

 

Create the 2014/2015 Teacher Planner!

 

// supplies

• 1 pack of 1-1/2 inch expansion discs – I used black, but you can always upgrade to the fancy-schmancy aluminum discs too ;)
• 2 translucent covers (one for the back & one for the front)
• regular paper punch or if you didn’t want to go all out just yet, there is the portable punch, which isn’t as costly
• 23 tab dividers (more or less depending on how you set up your planner) – I used black to match my discs, but there are multicolored , vivacious , & white too.
• 5 sheet protectors or dual pocket dividers to place behind your professional development logs to keep track of the accompanying paperwork

totally optional, but I splurged a little for my new planner baby, on these other accessories that work with the binding system ;)

• zip pocket – for receipts, post-its, etc.
• small neoprene zipper pocket – I thought it was the perfect size to add to the front of the planner to throw my flash drive, SD card, & phone in.
• bookmark with page flags & arrows

Now, if you decide to bind it the ol’ fashioned way – just bring it to your local office supply store & have them bind it for you.  Or just slap the parts into a large, probably 2-inch or bigger, 3-ring binder.  Except for the expansion discs – you’ll still need the dividers, sheet protectors, punch, & binder for the 3-ring style…  and the dividers and sheet protectors for the store bound style.

How you design it is up to you – that’s the beauty of it – and why I like the binding system – it’s totally customizable!

// tips

• Print on heavier weighted paper, I prefer to use Staples brand 98 bright, 32 lb paper, it has a smooth, thick texture & makes a nice weight for the planner.
• If you will be going to an office store to have the pages printed it out – be sure to bring this print release form with you.
• I adore these Staedtler Triplus Fineliner Pens – they don’t bleed through the heavier weighted paper & are perfect!
