I am so excited to be walking through the 2015 Erin Condren Teacher Planner with you, sharing some of my favorite tips and tricks, and showing you some tweaks to personalize it even more!
Walk-Through Video
Here's a video to get you started. It walks through each of the sections more in-depth and includes how I adjust certain parts:Inspiration & Parent Contact Freebie
I hope these headers can help you rethink the sections of your planner you may not use as much! Here is a close-up of the before and afters of each of the pages:

Using Stickers & Pens
There will be *tons* more posts about these great stickers and pens as the school year approaches and plans get filled in. Here are some of my initial ideas, though. If you're interested in how I number my students, click HERE. Below is a sampling of their pens in my Life Planner :)
Subject Headers, Washi Tape & Notes Pages
I mentioned the subject headers, washi tape, and more from last year's planner tips. Because those haven't changed, be sure to head to the original post HERE to see them in action and to pick up your feeebies!

I am about to watch your second video now! I have been using the Life Planner for the last 6 months, and am waiting for my Teacher Planner in the mail! I will definitely be re-doing some of it to better fit my needs, but I can't WAIT! :)

Awesome! Thanks for your comment, I am so glad these ideas can help :)
DeleteLoved watching your video and seeing some of the changes you made to your planner to make it fit your needs!!! This is my favorite teacher planner ever and I love seeing how other teachers use it!!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it great?! It's so easy to personalize and tweak to make it just right for you and your class :) Happy planning!
DeleteThis was super helpful! I ordered my planner in April or May so it's not the "new" one :( but it's my 1st year using this planner and your ideas were super helpful! Thanks - I look forward to seeing more
ReplyDeleteThe differences between the old and new are so minimal, you can still use all of these ideas and be a-ok! I am glad she doesn't change the formatting that much-- I am such a creature of habit :) Thanks so much for your comment and happy planning!
DeleteI love the personalization. I made my own planner this year because I couldn't find one I loved but changing pages would have been so much easier. I'm going to start colour-coding the edges of my semesters too. Also, have you tried the erasable pens from Pilot (I'm not affiliated with them in any way)? I love them for my planner because they come in lots of fun colours and actually erase.
ReplyDeleteYes!!! The Frixion pens!! Love them and you're right, they erase perfectly!

ReplyDeleteI ordered my first planner and will admit I was worried. It is a lot of money. However, after seeing this post I feel so much better about it. I now know I can customize it to better fit me and the freebies you put up are great. I am now even more excited about getting my planner in. Thanks so much!!!!

That's so great to hear, Lena! I really think you'll love the planner and I'm so glad these freebies can help :) Enjoy!!
DeleteAre there 3 note pages after each month like in last years planner or just one on the back of the month?
ReplyDeleteGREAT question, Danielle! There is only one notes page on the back of each monthly calendar, not three like last year's. Thanks for asking, since I completely spaced on that change!!
DeleteI love my Erin Condren Planner and never thought of changing the pages that I wasn't using it. I am bummed that I ordered my new one in May but I am still excited to fill it in! Thanks for sharing your video...it was very helpful! Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love these ideas! I'm waiting on my planner to come next week and I've been wanting to adapt a few things. This is my second one and I really enjoyed using it last year. Will check this blog post out again when I receive it in the mail.
ReplyDeleteAll the best,

I am enjoying taking a peek at all of you great resources. There are so many! You do fantastic work.
ReplyDeleteI especially like the text features scavenger hunt.
WOW! So helpful! I am so glad I saw this (and your first post about erin condren). Your video was so clear and made everything so much easier to understand. My planner is in the mail. I can't wait to get it and start using some of your awesome ideas! Thank you!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the good ideas to make changes to the unused pages and make them useful to fit our needs!!!

ReplyDeleteOn the back of each month there is a notes page. I put stickers on them and divide it up by subject-- there's a picture of this on last year's post. Last year there were three pages and this year there's only one. Hope that helps!
