I use this section of my planner to plan my year. Without this section of the planner I would be          L O S T .  My favorite part is the “roadmapping pages”.  I find that I refer to them throughout the year as I write lesson plans and make adjustments as needed.  In order to make the file a manageable size I only included “master” roadmapping pages and “master” lesson plans pages.  You will want to consult a calendar and figure out how many you need.  When I printed my personal planner I included two more than the calendar led me to believe I would need.

Use this template to build a “roadmap” for each grade level.  As each lesson is taught, check it off so that you can keep track of what specific groups are missing
Use this lesson plan template to add details to your lessons – Since my district uses an online system, I don’t include this template in my personal planner anymore.
Use this calendar to track when lessons are taught.

Advise about printing:

The PDF files that are linked here include pages as I have them set up for my own planner.  Your needs may be different than mine so feel free to print more or less of any given page. You will notice that each page is either left or right of center.  This is to allow for binding or hole punching.

For best results try to arrange your planner so that when your book is open an even numbered page is on the left and an odd numbered page is on the right.  

Please remember that all parts of this planner are intended as a gift to busy music teachers who spend hours of their own time and regularly contribute their own money to the cause of making their music classrooms a haven of learning through music.  If you choose to use any part of this planner please do not sell it.  If you choose to share any part of this planner with others, please share the link to the blog rather than downloading and then mass producing planners for others.
