Blue Sky 2020-2021 Academic Year Teachers Weekly & Monthly Lesson Planner, CYO Cover, 8.5" x 11", Dots

I know this is labeled a 'teacher's planner' however, I find these are BEYOND useful for caseworkers, like myself. I can carry a caseload of up to 12 families. Teacher planners work well to organize my caseload and keep track of what I do, for each family, per day. Granted, this particular planner will work for up to 10 families, but I can always divide some of the blocks, if i need to; since the planner is the size of a regular piece of paper and the blocks are pretty large.Do I think this will hold up to an entire year of taking it from my home, to my car, to various client homes... probably not (which is why I gave it 4 stars in some categories), but I am willing to gamble.In terms of the 'supplemental' teacher pages which are found in other planners... there aren't many and it is GLORIOUS. I counted 5 total (front and back) 'supplemental' pages:1. cover; and yearly overview2. teacher info page; and holidays/ special dates3. special dates cont.; and class birthdays4. weekly activity schedule (which I think would be useful); goes right into the may 2020 calendar5. back page, which is laminated, holiday schedule for 2020,2021 2022,2023; and states and capitalsUsually, I have to rip out huge hunks of the 'supplemental' (I am calling them supplemental but I don't think that is the 'technical' term) teacher pages because most of them I do not use. For example; multiplication table, periodic table, grading sheets, sticker sheets, class seating chart...etc, or I rip them out and give them to my families. LOVE that there is not an overabundance of teacher-specific pages.There is also a nice plastic paper holder (I cant remember what is it called...portfolio?) where I could put my court documents or opening paperwork forms. Again, I don't think it would last for a year but even a few uses; I feel that it is a nice addition.Overall, this planner is just so streamlined, barely any 'supplemental' teacher pages, and 99% is actual 'planner'... NINETY-NINE percent planner!!! I will definitely buy this again and again for my social work career!

This is my 3rd year to use this planner and I love it. Plenty of room for my lesson plans and I can personalize it. The only thing I would like to see improved is the clear pocket inside does not hold a regular size piece of paper. I have to cut down whatever I put in there. I’ve had an Erin Condin and one from Teachers Pay Teachers and those just had so many things I didn’t use. This one is just enough since ai keep so many thing online and on my phone.

Perfect planet for this crazy year-inexpensive, but has what I need. I do wish the pages were thicker. I use felt, flair pens to write with and they do bleed through a bit.

I love so much about this planner! However, the coil is not sturdy. The pages pop out and have to be put back in often. This is not sturdy enough for moving around during everyday use. I would not buy it again.

I wanted to love this planner as I swear by the Blue Sky 5x8 ones for appointments etc every year. However, the bottom corner of the cover / page-insert was already broken almost completely off when it arrived. It already looks old & worn out and it won’t protect paper put inside it since the entire corner is nearly off. I can’t trust this to protect the inside planning pages when the supposedly sturdy cover is broken apart already. I guess I’ll spend the extra money & go back to a happy planner.

I was hoping that the pages would be a little more thicker so that I could write on them with thin Sharpies. However, this is such a cute planner and perfect for the upcoming school year to write down lesson plans and keep dates. I wish there was a page to keep track of parent/teacher communication, and I think this planner could do without the lines for writing. Overall though, great for keeping organized.

I have purchased these planners many years in a row and have been very happy with the product....until now. As you can see in the picture, the blue page that is supposed to be the back cover was threaded on so that it is in front of the front cover. Consequently, when I fold the book to close it, the back cover slides off.

As I switched to homeschooling this year for obvious reasons, I thought this planner would be perfect. I used it for TWO days before it completely fell apart. The binding is crap. I would turn a page and 10 would fall out. I trashed the whole thing. Don’t waste your money.
