Get ready for the year ahead with our updated digital/printable 2026 Planning Diary for Educators! We've taken our original and gorgeous planning diary and updated it and made it even better. We didn't know that was possible!

This printable diary for educators features daily pages to organise and plan your time, sections for personal reflection, notes, and even pages to keep your post-it notes safe.

We have made our iconic planning diary available as a PDF download for easy and immediate access. Our customers asked, and we answered. We did this for you!

Our publications are full of beautiful pages designed to reignite your creative spark and love of documenting! In fact, many educators have told us that our publications have given them a renewed love of the job.

By purchasing our planning diary, you will also receive exclusive membership to our online Reflections of an Educator Resource Hub.

Use your Planning Diary for Educators alongside our Reflections of an Educator Journal or on its own.   

Each month features a planning wheel with each day dated as this in our digital edition. Our planning wheels are a quirky way for you to document some of the significant events during the course of the month. On the following pages are spaces for you to document team meetings either in the classroom itself or at the staff meeting. 

Our daily layout enables you to document the day's events and learning in ways that suit you and your learning community. We have educators who mind map, write narratives or collage images with notes. In fact, you can do a blend of multiple documentation styles that suit you, your students and their families.

Documenting reflective practice is a great way of providing regular evidence of your thinking.  A space to document your thoughts around the elements of the curriculum, teaching and learning. This is also a space where you can note down any team discussions regarding the curriculum decisions that have been occurring over the week.
