You are confident in front of a class, but the admin and the planning are eating your afternoons and your Sundays.
You plan on loose sheets of paper and lose exactly the one that mattered.
Every year you start again and rebuild the same tables from scratch.
Marks and averages costs you hours with a calculator in your hand, every reporting term.
Meetings, relief lessons and parent contact: plenty of information, and nowhere that it all comes together.
Recognise even one of these? There is a ready-made answer — just below.

280 pages in four parts: the school year, your learners, your teaching and your marks. Nothing to set up — it is all ready.
And there is also
You enter one date and the rest falls into place. The averages work themselves out, the dropdowns are ready, and every section is one click away.
Enter the marks and Avg. is worked out straight away. Weight is taken into account: no formula, no calculator — on every mark sheet.
Enter the first Monday and click once: 53 weeks and 12 months fill in on their own.
2,149 dropdowns, in the words a South African school actually uses: support, conduct, type of assessment and more — you choose instead of typing.
11,422 internal links, not one of them dead. Tabs across the top, months and weeks down the sides, and a way back to Contents in the bottom left corner of every page.
The automatic features work best in Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is free on Windows, Mac, iPad and Android. You can also print the planner in landscape and fill it in by hand.
No filler. These are the things that actually take weight off your shoulders every week — all in the pack, nothing extra to pay.
You set one date and the planner becomes that school year. Next year you set it again — the same file, no second purchase.
No account, no cloud, no login. The file sits on your device and nothing leaves it — including what you write about your learners.
14,532 text fields, 1,432 tick boxes and 2,149 dropdowns. You type on a computer or a tablet instead of writing everything out by hand.
Every class has its own list, seating plan, annual plan, mark sheet and conduct-and-attitude sheet — even if you teach several of them.
Print the planner in landscape — all of it, or only the pages you really need — and fill it in by hand.
You put the school year and your name on the cover, and your school’s name on the start page. In a minute the planner is yours.
On the laptop in the morning, on the iPad in the afternoon — the same file, everything right there. And when a colleague covering for me needs it on paper, I print just that page.
The average works itself out as I enter the marks — it saves me a whole evening before every staff meeting. Having points, percentages and a comment-only option as well is what finally convinced me.
The agenda, the decisions and the tasks from every meeting, finally in one place. I always know what I promised and by when.
All my classes in front of me at a glance: subject, room and periods. I go straight from the card to the class list and the marks, without searching.
I filled in my timetable and my duty roster in ten minutes; the dates were already there on all 53 week pages. Since then I plan my week calmly instead of at a run.
One page per child: contact details, parents, emergency numbers, support needs and what has been done. I no longer have to pull anything together before a parent meeting — it is all in front of me.
Everything is linked together: one click from the contents to the right month or week. I do not scroll any more, I jump — even in the middle of a lesson.
I have been teaching for more than ten years. For a long time I did exactly what you may be doing now: rebuilt my tables at the start of every school year, wrote marks into a book, and kept parent contact details in three different places.
So I made the planner I needed myself: complete, organised and easy to use.
I used it myself first. Then colleagues started asking for it. Teacher Planner came out of that: made by someone who knows what a Sunday afternoon looks like with a pile of marking in front of you.
My aim is simple: less time on admin, more time for the class.

Right after payment you get an email with a download link: the Teacher Planner, 280 fillable pages, plus 6 bonuses. No shipping, no waiting — it is yours in two minutes. If the email does not arrive, check your spam folder first.
If you can send a message on WhatsApp, you will manage this comfortably. It is an interactive PDF: you open it, fill it in, save it. Free Adobe Acrobat Reader is all you need — on Windows, Mac, iPad and Android. To be straight with you: PDF previews in a browser, and Preview on a Mac, do not save what you type reliably and do not work out the averages. Use Acrobat for that.
About ten minutes. You enter the first Monday of the school year and 53 weeks and 12 months fill in on their own. You write the holidays and breaks once — they are not printed in, because the DBE calendar differs between inland and coastal schools, so they have a page of their own. Then you add your classes, and you are done. The five-step quick start at the front takes you through it.
Yes. It is built around the South African school: four terms plus a free slot, percentages with weighted averages and the CAPS levels 1–7, conduct and attitude, support needs and an ISP. The mark scale also has a comment-only option, for the Foundation Phase. The wording is deliberately neutral, from Foundation Phase to Grade 12. You write in your own subjects, dates, holidays and terms — which is how the planner fits your school rather than the other way round.
Yes, in landscape (29.1 × 21.2 cm, which is A4 landscape), and it comes out cleanly on any printer. Many teachers work digitally and print only what they take into the lesson: the week, the class list or the relief page. You choose the pages — you do not have to print all 280.
Yes. Keep a blank copy and enter the new first Monday at the start of the new year: the whole calendar rebuilds itself. There is no printed year — you are not buying a year, you are buying the file.
One-off. No subscription, no renewal, no surprise three months later. You pay once, you download, done.
Your purchase includes a licence for your own use. If you would like to use it across a whole staff or department, write to info@nicoleadamsedu.com and I will put together a school offer that works out better than buying individually.
Write to info@nicoleadamsedu.com and I will answer within 24-48 hours on business days. You are dealing with a teacher, not a call centre. Most questions are already answered by the quick start at the front of the PDF: navigation, saving, printing and what you need to run it.
