This Planner Has It All
I was so excited when I got my planner in the mail. I’ve already put the school calendar dates in my planner and am looking forward to utilizing it throughout the upcoming year. My favorite part so far is the “brain dump” where you brainstorm all the things you need to do for that month. This planner will serve me well. Plus the Scriptures are very inspirational and will help keep me on track!

We are so THRILLED to know how much you love your planner! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
My favorite planner ever (and I've tried quite a few)!
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!
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
It is an honor to have created your favorite planner! Thank you so much for your review.
Everything I need!
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.

I am so excited for you to enjoy Pray & Plan! Thank you for your review!
I love supporting this ministry that supports Christian teachers.
This is a great planner with lots of reminders of God’s goodness. I love that Teach 4 the heart took the recommendations from last year and added monthly tabs. There are a lot of places for note taking and planning. I am a principal, not a teacher, but it has been very adapable for my planning. I used to make my own, but this is a great time saver.
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
I am so glad that you have been able to adapt the planner to your needs as well and that you appreciate the upgrades we have done. We appreciate all our customers so much. Thank you for your support!
Pray and Plan
I was surprised at the size of the planner. However, after looking through it- I Love It! I have everything in one place- calendar, lesson plans, schedule, parent contact log, scriptures, etc.., this is my 36th year teaching and I will be really organized for my 37th year. I will not have to look for different notebooks again, Thank you for organizing the planner.
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Thank you so much for your review. Your enthusiasm is encouraging. THANK YOU!
Incredible Resource
This will be my first year as a full time teacher outside the home; I have taught for the last 4 years but never came across a resource quite like this. I love that each month provides space for your lesson plans, multi-calendar approach to scheduling (it allows me to keep track of my classroom schedule, staff meetings and a basic family calendar all in one book so I don’t forget anything). I LOVE the To-Do list and area for weekly prayers; it is so easy to get wrapped up in the business of teaching and classroom management, we forget to spiritually feed ourselves and turn to prayer for others. Prayer can’t work if you don’t do it. I also love the colors; these are my favorite colors and really produce an intentional calm.
There are only two things I personally would like to have in this planner. First, additional note pages to the beginning of the book (right now there are only two pages in each month; I could benefit from 4 additional pages at the beginning of the planner. I like to have a complete “lesson map” for the semester/year. It helps me to have direction and then break it down each month). Second, I love the student log at the back; it would be wonderful if there was an option to add additional pages, for an additional cost, in order to keep attendance for all classes for the year (I teach middle school and have 7 classes). As it is, I will need to purchase an additional resource; it would be helpful for subs if everything remained in one book.
Overall, I am very impressed. I like to be organized and I like my resources to be pretty and intentional (it’s silly but it’s the little things). I would recommend this to others and will be looking forward to purchasing next years edition as well.
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. While we can not promise anything, the suggestion about the additional pages in the front is really great! I think a curriculum map is always a great idea! Thank you
Best yet!
I enjoyed last year’s first Pray Plan and bought one for a friend who asked when they would be otu this year, she was so excited with hers. I got two this year to gift a new friend and co-teacher. I think she will be ecstatic. I also got the lesson plan t included this time. I can’t wait to get the year started with it.
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
We’re so glad you’ve found Pray & Plan so useful you’re gifting them as well! We pray it’s a blessing!
A fun, wonderful way to plan!
Pray and Plan has been a wonderful tool that helps me plan out my weeks. I have used it to write out my lessons before I do the final weekly overview that I turn in to the elementary principal. I also enjoy the coloring pages for a little relaxing downtime. I’m looking forward to starting the next one in July!
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
I love that you get to relax in the busy-ness of teaching! So glad to know the coloring pages are blessing you. Thank you so much for supporting Teach 4 the Heart.
The easiest and most encouraging planner for teachers!
AWESOME!!! I love the ease and encouragement throughout the planner!
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Thank you so much for your review. We are praying loads of encouragement for you this year!
The best planner I ever bought
I cannot find a planner comparable to this one. I use it daily. From the monthly calendar spread to the to-do list on the weekly pages I find such value. I am super picky person when it comes to cleaners. It is so hard for me to find something I like. But this is the one that I think I will use for years to come should pray and plan continue to produce them. It’s worth the money in my opinion.
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
We are so delighted that you find the features so useful to your everyday work and hope we can continue to provide you with a Pray & Plan for years to come!
Great planner
I used it last year and have usually done my plans digitally. I enjoyed doing it pencils and paper and liked all the other wud the Planner kept me organized.
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
We are so happy you have found joy going back to analog life for this! 🙂 Thank you for your support.

I love how there is a place to put memory verses so that I can meditate on it throughout the day. It is well organized and there is a place for everything. 😊

All in one place!
I’m excited to start this school year with my whole calendar (personal and school related) in the same place! The tabs are great, I have started coloring my monthly pages and I just shared my planner with my best friend . I’m most excited that my lesson plan pages are right there for easy reference too!!
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Thank you for your review and your support of T4TH. I hope your best friend loves the planner too! Keep passing the word around. We want to encourage as many teachers as we can. Thank you again.
Can't wait to use my planner!
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! 🙂
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are so glad to know you love Pray & Plan.
Great Planner that has it all!
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.
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Your review means so much to us! Thanks for being a valued customer and sharing all the ways you use Pray & Plan!
Love it
Well organized and easy to use. The only down size is it is a little heavy.
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Thank you for your review!
Great reminder to PRAY and plan!
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!
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Thank you so much for your review! We are echoing your prayer—for you and many other educators—that the words in the planner will give you hope and remind you that God is with you!
Stay Organized and Focused While Excercising Your Spirit
Everything you need to stay organized and at the same time keeping the Scriptures in your mind and spirit.
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Thanks for taking the time to review Pray & Plan! We appreciate you.
You want this planner
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.
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
We are so glad you like the tabs upgrade! Keep seeking the Lord as you go! Thank you,
What A Blessing ❤️
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
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
I’m so glad you can feel love and thought we put into designing this planner! Thank you for your review.
Remind to pray as I plan
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.
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Thank you for your review!
Pray and Plan is ESSENTIAL!
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!
Love the flexibility!
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!
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Thank you for being a repeat customer. And, I love your advice for those who have purchased the printable version. Several customers love just printing off what they need a bit at a time. Thank you again.
Fabulous Planner
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.
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Thank you for your review! It really IS fun to plan when we are working in a beautiful space and working ahead, isn’t it?
First time in 12 years of teaching I stayed that organized!
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 🙂
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Gina—first off—we are so happy you were able to stay consistent all year! What an accomplishment. We are also so glad that people like you took the time to let us know how badly you wanted the tabs! It was a great suggestion and I’m thankful we have that offer now. Thank you for recommending the planner. 🙂
Love my planner
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.
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Thank you for your review! We are so happy that you are loving the tabs upgrade.
Just received my planner for the second year!
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!
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
It makes us so happy at Teach 4 the Heart when someone finds out that Pray & Plan is the planner they have been looking for! Thank you for supporting Teach 4 the Heart and leaving such a beautiful review.
I Love it!
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.
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Thank you for your review! We are so thrilled to know that Pray & Plan helps support you as you serve such an important role in your school.
Pray & Plan is Perfect
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.
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with us. 🙂 I am happy to know that those coloring pages helped keep you both entertained and encouraged. We are so excited about the new binding as well! Thank you for being a repeat customer.
My Favorite Planner
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.
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
We appreciate your review so much and are so glad you enjoy all the features we have included in Pray & Plan. We are thrilled you like the upgrades we made this year too!
Love it
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!
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Congratulations on making it through that first tough year! We are so happy that Pray & Plan was one of your “survival tools.” Thank you for your feedback about the cover and binding. We had made the cover a little larger to protect the pages more, but your feedback will definitely be taken into consideration next year as well. Thank you again for your review. We appreciate you.
Versatile, user-friendly planner
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!
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Your review means a lot to us. I’m so glad you were able to use Pray & Plan to keep all areas of your life moving smoothly. Thank you for letting us know your thoughts on the binding. We will keep that in mind for next year. Is there any chance you would be willing to email us at linda@teach4theheart.com with a picture of the binding you chose? Thank you so much.
Perfect organization and purpose
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.
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Thank you for your kind words! This is exactly why we created Pray & Plan! I love that you are able to spend more time with your family! Keep up the great work and discipline of using that time tracker. 🙂
A must have!
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.
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Thank you for being a repeat customer. I love the point you made—we really do create a lot of space for thoughts and memories in there!
Amazing Planner
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.
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Your review is so encouraging to read. So many of the details that we were super intentional about including in Pray & Plan seem to be very impactful for you. That is such a blessing to us! Thank you for your sharing.
The best planner EVER!
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.
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We could not agree more about having the right mindset. Thank you for committing to year #2 with Pray & Plan.
Practical, Inspirational and Beautiful
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.
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
We are so excited about this year’s new and improved cover as well—because as you said, our plan books get a LOT of “active use!” Thank you for taking the time to leave a great review.
I love my planner!
It is laid out perfectly. It’s stunning to look at and has a very functional layout.
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Thank you so much for this lovely review! We think it is beautiful too! 🙂
I love the flexibility!
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!!
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Thank you for your time and review! Yes—we really wanted to make this one extra sturdy and strong. Thank you for sharing about your course load/preps as this is a common question teachers have. We tried to make it as functional and helpful to every teacher as possible.
More than just blank spaces
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!
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
YES! This planner is so much more than just space! Thank you for reviewing.
Helps so many areas of teacher life
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.
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Thank you! We are so glad to know the quotes and verses are bringing encouragement to your heart.
A planner for all my reminders
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
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Thank you for your review. We are so happy that Pray & Plan prompts you to reach out the Lord daily.
Use it every day
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!
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Thank you for your review. We are so glad to know you are getting plenty of use out of your planner—and that you think it is as pretty as we do. 🙂

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.

Your review means so much to us! Thanks for being a valued customer and sharing all the ways you use Pray & Plan!
Love it
Well organized and easy to use. The only down size is it is a little heavy.
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Thank you for your review!
Great reminder to PRAY and plan!
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!
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Thank you so much for your review! We are echoing your prayer—for you and many other educators—that the words in the planner will give you hope and remind you that God is with you!

You want this planner
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.
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
We are so glad you like the tabs upgrade! Keep seeking the Lord as you go! Thank you,
What A Blessing ❤️
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
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
I’m so glad you can feel love and thought we put into designing this planner! Thank you for your review.
Remind to pray as I plan
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.

Thank you for your review!
Pray and Plan is ESSENTIAL!
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!
Love the flexibility!
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!
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Thank you for being a repeat customer. And, I love your advice for those who have purchased the printable version. Several customers love just printing off what they need a bit at a time. Thank you again.
Fabulous Planner
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.
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Thank you for your review! It really IS fun to plan when we are working in a beautiful space and working ahead, isn’t it?
First time in 12 years of teaching I stayed that organized!
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 🙂
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Gina—first off—we are so happy you were able to stay consistent all year! What an accomplishment. We are also so glad that people like you took the time to let us know how badly you wanted the tabs! It was a great suggestion and I’m thankful we have that offer now. Thank you for recommending the planner. 🙂
Love my planner
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.
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Thank you for your review! We are so happy that you are loving the tabs upgrade.
Just received my planner for the second year!
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!
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
It makes us so happy at Teach 4 the Heart when someone finds out that Pray & Plan is the planner they have been looking for! Thank you for supporting Teach 4 the Heart and leaving such a beautiful review.
I Love it!
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.
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Thank you for your review! We are so thrilled to know that Pray & Plan helps support you as you serve such an important role in your school.
Pray & Plan is Perfect
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.
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with us. 🙂 I am happy to know that those coloring pages helped keep you both entertained and encouraged. We are so excited about the new binding as well! Thank you for being a repeat customer.
My Favorite Planner
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.
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
We appreciate your review so much and are so glad you enjoy all the features we have included in Pray & Plan. We are thrilled you like the upgrades we made this year too!
Love it
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!
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Congratulations on making it through that first tough year! We are so happy that Pray & Plan was one of your “survival tools.” Thank you for your feedback about the cover and binding. We had made the cover a little larger to protect the pages more, but your feedback will definitely be taken into consideration next year as well. Thank you again for your review. We appreciate you.
Versatile, user-friendly planner
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!
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Your review means a lot to us. I’m so glad you were able to use Pray & Plan to keep all areas of your life moving smoothly. Thank you for letting us know your thoughts on the binding. We will keep that in mind for next year. Is there any chance you would be willing to email us at linda@teach4theheart.com with a picture of the binding you chose? Thank you so much.
Perfect organization and purpose
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.
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Thank you for your kind words! This is exactly why we created Pray & Plan! I love that you are able to spend more time with your family! Keep up the great work and discipline of using that time tracker. 🙂
A must have!
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.
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Thank you for being a repeat customer. I love the point you made—we really do create a lot of space for thoughts and memories in there!
Amazing Planner
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.
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Your review is so encouraging to read. So many of the details that we were super intentional about including in Pray & Plan seem to be very impactful for you. That is such a blessing to us! Thank you for your sharing.
The best planner EVER!
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.
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We could not agree more about having the right mindset. Thank you for committing to year #2 with Pray & Plan.
Practical, Inspirational and Beautiful
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.
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
We are so excited about this year’s new and improved cover as well—because as you said, our plan books get a LOT of “active use!” Thank you for taking the time to leave a great review.
I love my planner!
It is laid out perfectly. It’s stunning to look at and has a very functional layout.
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Thank you so much for this lovely review! We think it is beautiful too! 🙂
I love the flexibility!
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!!
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Thank you for your time and review! Yes—we really wanted to make this one extra sturdy and strong. Thank you for sharing about your course load/preps as this is a common question teachers have. We tried to make it as functional and helpful to every teacher as possible.
More than just blank spaces
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!
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
YES! This planner is so much more than just space! Thank you for reviewing.
Helps so many areas of teacher life
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.
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Thank you! We are so glad to know the quotes and verses are bringing encouragement to your heart.
A planner for all my reminders
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
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Thank you for your review. We are so happy that Pray & Plan prompts you to reach out the Lord daily.
Use it every day
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!
Response from Teach 4 the Heart
Thank you for your review. We are so glad to know you are getting plenty of use out of your planner—and that you think it is as pretty as we do. 🙂
