Weekly Planner

A free weekly teacher planner that puts your whole week on one page — lessons, marking, meetings, duties and the two or three things you actually want to get done — so Sunday-evening planning takes 15 minutes, not two hours.

See OES For Teaching features

Teaching is built on small, repeating decisions: which class needs feedback first, which lesson needs the most prep, when to mark, when to plan. A good weekly planner makes those decisions in advance, so you don't burn willpower on them mid-week.

Print one on Sunday, review it on Wednesday, replan if needed. Most teachers find they over-promised on Monday and underused Thursday — the planner makes that visible quickly.

What you'll learn

One-page weekly view with lessons, marking and meetings
"Top 3 priorities" box to anchor the week
Markbook reminders and prep slot
Editable .docx and printable PDF

Frequently asked questions

Is this different from a school-issued planner?

It's lighter and built around weekly priorities rather than just timetable slots. Most teachers use both — school planner for daily duties, this one for strategic planning.

Can I use it digitally?

Yes. The editable .docx version works in Word, Pages and Google Docs. Print it if you prefer paper.
