What Is a Student Planner?
A Student Planner is a great way to keep students organized and teach them the importance of time management. It allows them to keep track of their school life on a weekly basis and will teach them the importance of prioritizing workload, studying, and being punctual.
These are all very important life skills that children will need to discover and learn for themselves. Let's not forget that students are still learning - they are only just beginning to find their way and attending school can be a rather complex topic for some learners, particularly if they are new.
With so much to remember at such a young age, it would be unfair to expect children to remember everything and then punish them for not keeping track. By purchasing or making your own custom Student Planner, you eliminate the worry of forgetting tasks by giving the students an opportunity to be independent and use the planner to plan their lessons, homework and further reading. You may also want to fit your personal timetable around in the planner, particularly if the student takes part in any extra curriculum activities.
Student Planners can also aid teachers and parents as they can keep track of what homework has been set, whether or not it was completed and will highlight any areas where a student has found work challenging.

How to Use a Student Planner?
Using a Student Planner is very simple yet very effective for any student that wants to succeed. Keep in mind the tips and hints below when thinking about how to use your planner for maximal effect:
- Ensure that you have the best Student Planner - making sure it is easy to use and comfortable to carry around . There is no point making an enormous planner that is heavy and is covered in locks. The whole purpose lies with the fact that it can be taken out and filled in quickly;
- Get into a strict routine of using the planner . Do not avoid filling it in - we all know that the more we leave it, the less likely we are to return to it. We all check our phones when we wake up and before we go to sleep and the same can be introduced for your planner;
- As soon as you receive new information, especially concerning any deadlines, timetable changes, and examinations you should be sure to make a note of them in the planner (even if you are extremely confident in your memory);
- Take good care of it and do not lose it!
