This is a very large planner book and I love it! Weeks are laid out on a two page spread with Monday - Friday listed vertically and 6 boxes for subjects going across horizontally. There is a lot of space for writing and additional space on each weekly lay out for notes! As a homeschooling mother, I found this planner to be just what I needed!

This is a pretty nice plan book, but check the size dimensions before you purchase it! When fully opened it's almost 4ft. long, which makes it really impractical to carry around. But if you like the size and just want to use it on your desk, the layout is simple: each page has Monday through Friday listed on the left, with eight empty blocks across the pages for each day for filling in activities. The little teaching hints on each page are a nice addition, and the front cover pocket is handy--and of course it's spiral-bound so it lays flat. (But still wish I'd gotten a smaller one.)

I had a great planner that came as a promotion with a retirement company. Once that ran out, I had the hardest time finding a replacement. Most planners have spaces that are too small to write any meaningful material. The Scholastic Teacher Plan Book Updated is extra large so that the boxes give you plenty of room for detailed lesson plans. There is also room on the sides for extra notes, and more importantly, reflection notes. Of all the planners I looked at, this one is definitely the best!

The plan book is just the right size for my needs. I plan for 4 different curricular areas and I have plenty of room to write. It is large so for teachers with limited space it might not be the best choice.

Great if you are not a teacher that needs to move from room to room. It is too big for packing. But if you have your own classroom and can keep it on your desk, you will love it.

I prefer a plan book that is simple... this is oversized and takes up too much room on my desk. It also has a lot of pages I'm not interested in. I ended up giving it away and getting a simpler plan book.

The purpose of a planner is to write down your plans, right?
This one has the space in which to do so. In a classroom with parent aides and groups working on different things, it's invaluable.

LOVE the pockets in the front and back covers. (My one wish would be for Scholastic to 'plasticize' those covers, so they last out the school year.)

Some people think the size is a problem, but look at it another way - it's almost impossible to lose! Jenny

I generally like Scholastic products and this is a good one. Lots of room and great format. However, it is to big!! I could not fit it in my packback easily. Since I am usually on the go it was important for me to have a plan book filled with good information this one is filled with but it needs to be smaller. I have not used it because it is just to big to travel with.

As an Ed Tech teacher in an elementary building I see app. 500 students a week. With this planner I have all the space I need. At a glance I can see what I need and it makes following my schedule easy for substitute teachers. I like the spiral binding that makes the planner lie flat. I will be reordering this planner again.

I have been a teacher for over 25 years and I must tell you that this is the best Teacher Plan Book I have ever used. This year I am in an administrative position but I still purchased this book to keep organized. Its user friendly, has large boxes to plot my day. Its terrific!
