EduMagic Planner

So, we know there are student and teacher planners, but not a major education planners. Hannah Sansom and I have been working hard to create this for you! We brought together the worlds of teaching and being a student into one easy-to-use planner. We combined organization and time management through monthly, weekly, and daily calendars. Along with resources to guide you through your teaching journey, we also included goal setting and reflection areas.

This planner combines the world of being a college student and an aspiring educator.
