Our Reward: Using Our Classroom Experience to Support Teachers

Our team is proud to use their classroom experience to support teachers. At School Planner Company, we’re proud to have a team of Customer Account Managers (CAMs) and Customer Success Managers (CSMs) who don’t just understand the art of organization; they also know what it’s like to stand at the front of a classroom.

Many of our CSMs come from diverse teaching backgrounds, ranging from elementary school to high school, and even higher education. This unique blend of “teacher brain” and “planner brain” allows us to bring a level of empathy and insight that sets our planners apart.

“Students benefit from taking purposeful and intentional actions toward concrete goals. Planners support these actions by providing a roadmap to success helping students to study smarter, maximize time management, and prioritize tasks – all essential skills for lifelong success and applicable to all subject areas. Customized planners can meet the needs of each population of students, giving them access to effective strategies to master their individual learning and goals.” – Jessica, CSM (Former K-12 Fine Arts Teacher, MAT)

Using our Experience to Support Teachers By Making Template Recommendations

Before joining the School Planner Company, our CSMs were busy managing classrooms, grading papers, and trying to stay on top of endless to-do lists. But despite their best efforts, there were still gaps in the resources they had at their disposal. What was missing?

When designing our pre-designed template library, we focused on creating practical, flexible resources that would truly adapt to the unique demands of a teacher’s day. As educators ourselves, we understand the challenges of balancing lesson planning, grading, student engagement, and collaboration with colleagues. That’s why we made it our goal to develop templates that were not only easy to use but could also be customized to fit the diverse needs of each teacher and their classroom. We knew that a one-size-fits-all approach wouldn’t work, so we prioritized flexibility, personalization, and functionality in every template we created.

We used our classroom experience to design our templates.

One of the key features we focused on was offering personalized layouts that could be easily adjusted to fit individual teaching styles. Every teacher has their own method for organizing and presenting information, whether it’s visual aids, structured schedules, or open-ended activities. Our templates were designed to be intuitive and simple to adapt, allowing teachers to alter content placement, design elements, and formatting to match their preferences. This customization ensures that each teacher can maintain their unique approach to teaching while still benefiting from the streamlined support these templates provide.

We also recognized the importance of tracking not just assignments but overall student progress in a way that aligns with both behavioral and academic goals.

Our student progress trackers were built to help teachers monitor a wide range of objectives, from improving test scores to enhancing social skills or encouraging classroom participation. These trackers offer an easy way for teachers to assess and note progress over time, providing valuable insights for both educators and parents. This holistic approach ensures that every aspect of a student’s development is considered, allowing for more effective interventions and celebrations of success.

Collaboration is another critical component of successful teaching. With this in mind, we incorporated spaces for team collaboration in our templates. Whether teachers need to share notes, co-plan lessons, or brainstorm ideas for student engagement, our templates provide designated areas for group input. This fosters a collaborative environment where educators can easily exchange resources, strategies, and feedback. By promoting teamwork and communication, we help teachers create stronger, more cohesive educational communities, ultimately benefiting both students and teachers.

Here’s a quick breakdown of the main features of our template library:

Personalized LayoutsCustomizable to fit individual teaching styles and preferences.
Student Progress TrackersTools to track both academic and behavioral goals over time.
Team Collaboration SpacesSections for sharing notes, co-planning lessons, and collaborating.
Flexibility and PracticalityTemplates designed for easy adjustment based on daily classroom needs.

In summary, our pre-designed template library was developed with the practical needs of educators in mind. By providing flexible, customizable resources that support personalized teaching styles, student progress tracking, and team collaboration, we aim to empower teachers to focus on what truly matters: the success and growth of their students

How Student Agenda Books Help Schools Choose the Right Templates Based on Classroom Experience

Having spent years in the classroom, our CSMs are experts at using their classroom experience to support teachers by matching schools with templates that actually work. They understand that every teacher’s needs are different, whether they’re managing a 1st-grade classroom or prepping high school students for college. That’s why they take the time to ask the right questions and walk schools through their options, from weekly lesson planners to student behavior tracking.

Using our classroom experience to support teachers, our team can recommend:

  • Lesson Plan Layouts for custom teacher planners that fit a teacher’s pacing and subject matter, allowing for flexible adjustments as the year goes on.
  • Daily Reflection Pages to help teachers track their own goals and evaluate the success of their lessons.
  • Templates that support teachers looking to simplify attendance tracking, grading policies, and even communication with parents.

They don’t just recommend templates—they use classroom experience to support teachers by offering insights on how to best use them to optimize teacher time, reduce stress, and increase student engagement.

“Parent communication and involvement are critical to a student’s success. Custom planners make it easy for teachers to provide consistent feedback—daily, weekly, or monthly—while giving parents a clear way to stay informed and engaged in their child’s progress throughout the year.”  – Heather, CSM (Former K-12 Fine Arts Teacher, MPA)
