Thank you, Erin Condren, for trusting me with your new products!Įrin Condren Teacher Planner Launch Dates And today, I get to review the Erin Condren Teacher Lesson Planner – along with all of the new updates – with you! I have found that the Erin Condren Teacher Lesson Planner allows me to flex and bend my planning style around our season of life (how important is this right now?!), and provides an organized way to collect all of my planning ideas and themes. For the last 5 years now, I have found my sweet spot in generating booklists and term spreadsheets on my home computer (which you can find in the printables section of my website), and then mapping out the individual months and days in my Erin Condren Teacher Lesson Planner. There are many different right ways to plan! Each of us should ( must!) choose a planning method, style, and format that answers our particular needs.Īs a home educator of five kids (2 graduates) for 20 years, I have used every tool imaginable for lesson planning – digital apps, digital software/word processing programs, calendar programs, notebooks, cheap planners, home made calendars, and my own created documents which I built, printed, and filled out weekly. There are many different ways to plan – formats, planners, styles – and you can plan before the work guiding the way, or plan/journal after the work showing your path. Without a plan, education moves in haphazard circles. Planning is both the road map and the road for this journey. In my letter to reluctant homeschooling parents, I shared a crash course in homeschooling, dis-spelled a few myths, and gave you some of my tried and true tips!

I find that leaving this open at my desk with the icons as the skeleton, I can pencil in the details (and erase/move when needed) throughout the week to stay organized. Especially with job-sharing, time goes fast and I want to make sure I am accomplishing as much as possible while I am at school, so my half-time doesn't become a full-time+ job. Obviously, this is not a super-detailed planning system that I have, but this works beautifully as a big-picture view of the week.

This was a tricky one to blog about since I have to respect student privacy, but I started to pencil in some of the details of my week.
