I have tried quite a few different brands of planners over the years. For a while, I gave up on finding one that I wanted and just designed my own weekly planning sheets and kept them in a binder. After a couple years of this, when I saw that Teach 4 the Heart was creating a planner for 2021-2022, I decided to give it a try, and I loved it!
Favorite features:
-Month-at-a-glance page, with room in the margins for notes
-Weekly planning pages, again, with extra boxes for notes and to-do lists
-Bible verses on each weekly page–so many times, it was exactly what I needed to be meditating on for that week
-Specific prayer prompts for each week
-Space in the back where I could record my physical grades
-Clean, beautiful design
The first version (2021-2022) did fall apart on me a bit–the cover tore off, and I had to tie up the spiral binding so the pages wouldn’t fall out. However, these issues seem to be all resolved this year with the new style of cover and binding, hence the 5-star rating!

Got it today and I am so glad that I finally found the right one and for a great price. No more copying my own planner and using a 3 ring binder!!! This one has all you need!!! Praise the Lord.

This is the first time I’ve ordered a planner like this and I received it in May. I’ve already started prepping for fall and I cannot wait to use it! The design, thoughtful inclusions and inspiration – all will be instrumental in keeping me on track and ready to go! 🙂

Last year was my first year purchasing the calendar and this year I watched carefully for the emails advertizing this year’s calendar because I LOVED my first year’s so much. I used this calendar for all sorts of things–for organizing my life, for planning out my weeks and my days, for keeping track of all that I as a teacher have to keep up with, for writing down my daily to-do’s in a place where I wouldn’t misplace them, etc. As a Christian, I loved how it incorporated my faith and scripture in an inspiring way. Oh, and one last thing, I LOVE that this year’s calendar comes with laminated front and back covers. I took my planner back and forth to work everyday so it saw a lot of miles and got a lot of abuse. I think the laminated covers will help it hold up even better.

Well organized and easy to use. The only down size is it is a little heavy.

I’m looking forward to using the planner. Teaching in a public school, I’m hoping that each time I look at my planner throughout the school day it will remind me that I’m not alone in that classroom; God is with me, and He is able to direct me through any problems I encounter!

Everything you need to stay organized and at the same time keeping the Scriptures in your mind and spirit.

I LOVE the Pray & Plan Planner. It is so well thought out for teachers! The tabs this year are wonderful . It is a one stop place for my personal and teacher life! The best part, God’s word is throughout and it helps me remember to take a moment for God throughout the day.

Thank you so much for putting this together 💛. I’ve been teaching for 18 years, and this by far is the best planner I’ve ever had. You have definitely put so much love and thought into it. What a blessing!
Thanks again

This planner has it all. A place to do your thinking, take notes from fellow colleagues and use scripture as I plan so that prayers for the students to be fulfilled and reach their goals.

This is my second year using the Pray and Plan. It’s a great tool to keep me focused, not just on my lessons, but on God as well. What a solid reminder to be including Him in all of my plans!

I have used the planner for the last two years and I love being able to use it for all that I want, I have the planner with lesson plans included and use the extra paper for lesson plans but I also use it for taking notes for sermons or meetings at school. I have the printed version so that I can print what I need when I need it. I have all the months printed for school and then print just the weeks that I need for planning a unit and work on that as I go. I have always loved the scriptures and the coloring as well!

I am so excited to have this planner for this coming school year! The planner is laid out beautifully and with the lesson planning pages, I have already began mapping out my school year. Thankfully, the planning pages start in August and go through June because we just switched to a balanced calendar and I will need the extra pages.

The Pray and Plan planner has been amazing! In my 12 years of teaching, it was a struggle for me to actually keep detailed lessons and make that a priority. This planner not only helped me stay organized in my special education classroom, but also gave me a change to reflect. I was able to maintain the habit of following the prayer guide weekly. The company listened to my suggestions and added tabs and different binding. LOVE LOVE LOVE this planner! I’ve already recommended it to 2 of my close teacher friends, and many people on facebook 🙂

Love my planner. I love that it allows me to do lesson plans calendar and personal events all in one. I love the new tabs to help me find each month easily.

This planner has everything I have needed and more this school year. What a challenging year it has been. I was blessed by the weekly scriptures, hidden encouragements, and weekly planning page. It is comprehensive BUT easy to make my own! I have looked for the perfect planner and this is it! I can’t wait to use it next year!

The Pray & Plan 2022-2023 is great! What I like most about it is how it is designed to include the Lord in every aspect of planning to guide and lead me in the process of praying while planning lessons for my students. I am a Special Education Teacher, my students often struggle with challenges of short-term memory, processing deficits, and a host of learning disabilities.

This past school year I used the Pray & Plan lesson plan book and I loved it. I had everything in one place. The lesson plan pages were spacious and fit everything I needed as I planned my week. The extra page before the lesson page was great to keep up on my to-do list or take notes from any meetings I was a part of during the week. I would reference those notes during the school year. I loved the record-keeping pages in the back of the planner. The coloring pages were also great to use during those long teacher meetings :). My only issue was with the binder ring. It came apart midway through the year. BUT, this year the new planner has a ring binder so I am so excited to use the Pray & Plan again this year.

Pray and Plan is the perfect size with everything I need for home and school in 1 place. The extra notes pages are great for meetings. I used the to do list area and prayer area every week. There was plenty of room to write on the calendar and lesson plan pages. I already ordered one for the 2022-2023 school year. The new plastic cover and binding make a great product better.

Love this lesson planner!! I would not have survived my first year of teaching (2021-22) without it! Well, I might have, but it would have been even more difficult!
I love the monthly overview in addition to the daily lesson plan pages. I also enjoy the pages with Scripture that can be colored when I have extra time (hardy har har!). They keep me encouraged. And the spaces for a To-Do list, Brain dump, and just notes come in handy. I scribbled all over this thing last year!
My only criticism of this year’s Pray & Plan is the laminated cover. It is considerably bigger than the pages so it’s not real easy or comfortable to carry. I appreciate the spiral binding because it makes it easy to keep it open to the current week. But when I stack it with the curriculum and other things I carry, it sticks out and kinda hurts my hand. That may sound silly I know, but a cover that’s the same size as the pages is much more convenient. Thank you so much!

This planner does an amazing job of incorporating one’s spiritual, teaching, and home life into one complete organizational tool. I used it last year and found it to seamlessly address all areas of my life and yet help me set boundaries and stay organized. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because of the very large, bendable binding ring this year that got caught in things. I replaced it with a smaller metal ring and its now much more durable. Overall, excellent and very unique teacher planner!

This will be my second school year using this planner. I love the simplicity of the weekly layout and reminders that point me back to Christ. The time tracker for when I arrive/leave work was really helpful for me this past year. I’ve finally been able to steward my time at work to leave and be home with my family.

This is my second year with the planner. I just love it. At the end of the year, it is sort of a diary since it has so many thoughts, prayers, and brain dumps in it.

I love this planner! The coloring pages are relaxing. The weekly scriptures are refreshing and help keep me bound in my faith even at work. The plan pages have plenty of space. The contact log and checklists help me keep all of my resources in one place. The end of the month brain dump is also amazing.

I have used so many different planners during my 18 year teaching career. This planner has everything without adding a bunch of nonsense I don’t need. It keeps me organized and has places for me to even do a quick quiet time before school. Having the right mindset is crucial! This will be my second year using this planner.

I’m so happy with my Pray and Plan Planner! I opted for the monthly tabs which makes it very easy to use. The sturdy cover will last through the active use it will endure this year. I also love the inspiring and encouraging Scriptures which will keep me in the proper mindset as I plan.

It is laid out perfectly. It’s stunning to look at and has a very functional layout.

I used the Pray and Plan planner last school year and was happy to see the improvements in the new edition. The spiral binding is better and the laminated the covers are stronger than the heavy cardboard the original edition utilized. I got the edition with the lesson plans and I loved being able to look at the whole week at one glance. There is ample space for many classes — I had 7 high school preps and could fit everything on one spread. It also helped me see the big picture with the monthly page and I was able to better manage my time on a weekly basis, both in school and at home. It was totally worth the price for me!!

I love how much space this planner has to write in! But it’s not just blank space- it prompts you to do super helpful tasks, such as brain dumping, making a to-do list, and praying!

As a new teacher I quickly learned that being a teacher involves more than just teaching students. Teaching is also about managing the classroom, time, prep, expectations of me and so on. Having a planner with quotes and scripture that encourages me as I try to manage it all is important to me and my favorite part of Pray & Plan.

I love the big TO-DO list area. It’s awesome! As a teacher, I have seriously A TON to do each day. But, what I love more, is right near that big long list is an area for prayer. I need those reminders to bring my day, my heart, my worries, and even my lists to God and share them with him

I use this planner every day. I really like how I’m able to list out the tasks to do on the long to-do list or use the daily planner. All the extra notes space is surprisingly helpful. I didn’t think I would use it as often as I do.
It’s beautiful, too!
