Teacher Coloring Planner in Zen Doodle Designs

Over the summer I've been working on designing templates for classroom use. I've made a number of newsletter templates over the years in and out of the classroom, but I've never tried creating a planner template. I noticed that these digital planners are actually quite popular on Teachers Pay Teachers, many of them are made available on Google Drive, so I decided to give it a try, too!

First I put together the zen doodle artwork backgrounds using an online design application. Then I created several templates using a slideshow application. Finally, I combined the two, and voila-- a digital planner now available at my TPT store:

Although the teacher planner / agenda is digital, these templates are meant for you to customize then print as hard copies. The zen doodle designs are to encourage you to color and relax while you get organized or sit in meetings;). I know how UNrelaxing the school year can be!

I have refrained from making too many templates with many text titles because I feel that as a user, you benefit more from having various organizers and the ability to customize the digital resource. If you want an extra row or column, simply right-click the box and insert. You can modify or delete any text in the files. You can use a variety of designs every month or week-- simply print them out from the file you want. You can repurpose any template and remove all the teacher-related text to make it a generic planner. These files were created for you to easily customize. Download this resource only if you are comfortable using Microsoft PowerPoint and tables. 😎.

The following templates are included in each of the 12 files:

1. Cover
