“Academic year setup is a MUST for homeschool planning, and all our extras that run Aug-May. The login info, planning pages, list pages, back pages…truly hope LD keeps this set up and doesn’t change it for 24-25’. This is year 2 with the TP and I have planner and life learning reverse record keeping peace!”

“Best homeschooling planner ever! I absolutely love this planner. This is our seventh year homeschooling and I’m so happy to say that I finally found a planner that can tackle not only all my school planning but our family life too. The layout makes it so easy. All of our family/school/life activities go in the main monthly calendar, I use the daily pages to plan our school work, the to do list for all of the tasks needed at home and the middle portion for our homeschool goals, ideas, checklists. It’s all right there! I can easily jump from what’s for dinner, to when our next appointment is, to what we are studying without flipping the page. It’s incredible. I use the school year overview calendar to track our attendance and the back pages to plan our curriculum choices and ideas for next year. 100% recommend!”

“The Ultimate Planner! This planner is such a game changer! Having the monthly view always visible and alongside the weekly view is super helpful when planning. It’s makes things so much easier. The size fits perfectly into my tote bag for work. Organizing my day just got easier because of this planner! ”

- monica b. -

“This is my second teacher/family/life planner by Laurel Denise, and it hits all the marks. This year I’m excited to have a section for lesson plans. I love to look back at my planners and see all that I’ve accomplished. My teenagers are even shopping Laurel Denise for their planners. So, if you are a visual learner or producer, if you function better with paper and pen, Laurel’s planners are best!”

- amelia m. -

“This is the planner I've been looking for my entire teaching career! It is absolutely perfect being able to see both weekly and monthly together. I also love the lesson planning pages. I would love to be able to buy extras of those already punched and ready to add to the planner.”

- morgan p. -

“I loved the 2022-23 Teacher Planner and I am not the most consistent planner user! The new one is even better. I love the lesson plan pages. Even more of them would be great. The professional development pages are cool, I will actually take notes and remember where they are. I don't need the roster pages as I use a computer grading system. I love filling the pages with stickers.It looks very elegant on my desk- very happy! ”

- zoe m. -

“Love, Love,Love the layout and the variety of pages. I am beyond thrilled to see the entire month while I plan for the week. The additional pages for tracking student growth or mastery as well as accommodations is a stroke of genius. I will have all my important information in one easy to handle book. And the dot pages in the back are the cherry on top of this delicious sundae!”
