Horizontal vs. Vertical planning

I love your planner. However, it’s how my brain works. I would love the option of one or the other in planning pages.

Thank you so much for your feedback! We’re always looking for ways to make our planner better! 🙂

Focused planning for 25-26

May 21, 2025

I bought this Ultimate planner to have the lesson plans, the calendar, and focused areas in order to incorporate more thoughtful prayer and Scripture into my day. I teach HS science subjects in a Christian school, and when days get busy, it can be easy to forget to read The Word. This planner is nicely organized and will be my favorite thing since I loved being organized!

LeAnne- Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts about Pray & Plan! We hope you enjoy staying organized and in the Word!

Love It

July 24, 2024

Last year I bought this planner for the first time. It was the first time I actually used my planner for the entire school year. I believe this was because the lesson planning pages, to do list, and calendar are all in one place. The prayer request area and Scriptures are also great to remind me every day. The ONLY reason I did not give five stars is because I would prefer the lesson planning pages to come prior to the weekly calendar instead of after it. Since I do lesson plans before the week begins, this would be more convenient for me. Other than that it is absolutely great!

I love my pray and plan, however it is a bit heavy.

Pray and Plan is a real jewel for helping one to stay organized and focused.

I’m so glad that despite its size you are able to stay organized and focused with Pray & Plan. It’s a bit difficult to squeeze all that goodness in and keep things super small. 🙂

Beautiful planner

August 28, 2023

I love this planner. Lots of space for planning. Expensive though. Not sure if I’ll purchase next year.

Response from Teach 4 the Heart

Thank you so much for ordering THIS YEAR! We truly appreciate it. 🙂 We hope you love it enough to say the expense was worth it!

Love it, but....

August 28, 2023

I enjoy using the Pray and Plan. I just have to carve out time to use it and make a digital copy.

Heather

Response from Teach 4 the Heart

We are happy to hear you enjoy it. Yes, using this planner, or any planner, definitely takes some time—but that can be a reminder to slow down and truly consider what REALLY needs to be done. Plus, there are all kinds of reminders to PRAY about that choice too. 🙂

All in one!

August 28, 2023

I love that I can organize all of my activities in one place, and have reminders of scripture, memory verses, and to take time to breathe and listen to God’s word. I love the tabs that make moving around the planner super easy! I like the colors and durability of the cover.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about Pray & Plan. May it continue to lead you closer to the Lord all year long.

School Year

I am excited to use this planner! I do look forward to trying it out! I ordered the printable planner so I could bind it by month, or semester, and not have to carry the full year. with me.

Shawna

Response from Teach 4 the Heart

Great plan! We hope you enjoy using it. A little hint: Set a alarm on your phone for the 25th of every month—or if you do semester, on the month before you plan to print. That way you don’t forget and you get a little jump start on printing and prep!

Too Big

July 31, 2023

I know it has to be this big to have all that they offer in it, but it is very heavy to carry to and from school. I wish the designs were different to color throughout the book. I really do like this day timer and glad I got it.

Focus on prayer

June 30, 2023

Love the areas where I can write the focus of my prayers. I also like the “To Do” list.

I love supporting this ministry that supports Christian teachers.

July 12, 2022

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.

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!

Incredible Resource

July 1, 2022

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.

Christy

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

June 8, 2022

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!

Nancy

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

June 8, 2022

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!

Kimberly

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.
