My Project

Transitioning from middle school to high school is a big deal and many students struggle with this monumental move. In 15 years teaching, I've found that students have a much higher chance of being successful when they can plan ahead and see what assignments are due.

The goal of this project to provide planners for my students to write down what and when assignments are due to help develop organization skills that will travel with them through high school, college, and later in life.

These planners can be used in every subject that they have through the entire school year.

Our job as high school teachers is to prepare students for life after schooling is done. What better life skill is there than being able to plan ahead, budget, and be prepared for the future??
