The Teachers Kit

A planner for the school year, built around the parts that aren't the lesson.

The lesson is the part of teaching you planned for. The rest (the parent who needs a call back, the meeting that moved, the report that is due Friday) is what fills the half-hour you were counting on. The Teachers Kit puts all of it in one rearrangeable notebook.

Pre-order: this kit ships about December 10, 2026. Free shipping on US orders of $75 or more.

Everything you need to start

Daily pages with a calendar view for periods, duties and meetings and a priority task tracker. Meeting Summary pages for conferences, staff meetings and conversations. A Project Tracker for units, events and report cycles, the 2027/2028 calendar that includes the whole 2027-28 school year, a Brain Dump for after the bell, a Reading List for professional or class reading, and ruled and dotted pages for lesson notes, seating charts and unit maps.

A setup you can customize over time

Everything except the calendar is undated, so you can start the week after the school year starts, skip a holiday without guilt and rearrange when the timetable changes. Pages lift off the discs: take a unit's pages to a planning meeting, file a finished term, or add a new tab for a new class. More refills are available in the store.

The system behind the pages

Your Perfect Notebook already includes the Big Blocks Dashboards in three layouts, the Daily Task Manager and the Reflection Page. Use the dashboard to hold one professional goal for the term and one that is only yours, then the Reflection Page at the end of a two-week cycle for what worked in class and what you would change.

Why the kit, and not just the notebook

• Parent and staff conversations get a written record. Meeting Summary pages make it quick to write down what was agreed before the next class starts.
• A full school year fits on the calendar. The 2027/2028 calendar covers January 2027 through December 2028, which includes the whole 2027-28 school year.
• It is a teacher's setup in one order. Daily planning, projects, conferences and sorting your head are already chosen and fit together.
• A paper record next to the official systems. Your school's systems remain the record of truth; this is your own working notebook.
• Flags for the half-hour that disappears. Sticky flags mark grading, calls to return and pages to come back to.

A week with the Teachers Kit

1. Before the year starts. Put term dates, conferences and report deadlines on the 24-month calendar. Set up a tab for each class or area.
2. Each day. Time-block your day on the Daily Calendar and list tasks by priority on the other side.
3. After every parent contact. Write a Meeting Summary page the same day: who, what was said and what you agreed to do.
4. After the bell. Do a Brain Dump to clear your head, then sort it into To Do, Ideas, Remember and Follow Up.
5. Once a week. Clear your Brain Dump and move the next week's tasks onto the page.

Who it is for, and who it is not for

It is for

• Classroom teachers planning units, meetings and parent contact.
• Teachers who want a paper record next to the school's official systems.
• New teachers building a routine for their first year.
• Anyone looking for a practical gift for a teacher.

It is probably not for

• Your school's official systems remain the record of truth. This is a personal planning tool.
• The kit does not include student-data templates such as grade books or seating-chart forms; use the dotted pages to draw your own.

Made to be used, and refilled

The Perfect Notebook is a B5 notebook on cream 90gsm paper that is friendly to fountain pens, with rounded corners and 11 aircraft-grade aluminum discs. Pages lift off the discs and go back on, so the book is something you keep and refill rather than finish and throw away.

A gift for someone you care about

A thoughtful gift for a teacher at the start of the year or the end of it: a complete planner for next year, with nothing more to buy.

Made for the person who teaches, and everything around it

The Teachers Kit is for educators who want one tidy place for planning, conversations and their own reflection.
