Planning is the most crucial part of being a teacher, and
most teachers rely on using a teacher planner to help
them:
Daily Planning will help to inform the teacher of the
needs for the next day.
Weekly Planning will be more important and affective.
Identifying the essential parts that you need to include in
your teacher planner is a great step ahead to prepare the
best teacher planner that you can use for the whole
school year or so.
