You won't get a lot of cute graphics or color with this planner, but you will get good, usable planning and record-keeping space. There are 40 two-page spreads for lesson planning. Weekdays are listed across the top of the page with seven subjects going down the page. Space size is 2.5" x 1.25" and lined. Record-keeping pages are numerous and more oriented to classroom use providing space for 40 students' names and a ten week grid for recording assignments and grades. An interesting feature of these pages is the perforated strip on the left-hand of each two-page spread that means the teacher doesn't have to rewrite students' names each time she needs more space for recording, simply tear it off or fold it under to show the original list on the first page. A few pages at the front of the book emergency/medical information, substitute teacher information, yearly calendar for special events, yearly birthday calendar, student roster, and seating charts complete the extras. Pages are white with black printing; book is 8.5" x 11" and spiral-bound. ~ Janice
If you are looking for a classroom-style planner/gradebook combo, these have cheerful covers, a spiral binding and plenty of writing space. The weekly planning pages have 5 days across the top of a page and 7 subjects down the left. Each square is 2.3" x1.1" with 5 lines to write on. Inside pages are black and white. You have those classroomy extras like seating charts, student rosters and a birthday record. The back half is for daily grade keeping in 10-week sections. ~Sara
