Erin Condren Teacher Planner Lesson Plan Template
I, like many other teachers, jumped on the Erin Condren Teacher Planner bandwagon. I have always typed and printed my lesson plans and taped them into the ugly, generic ,lesson plan book the school provides. (Want $10 off your first Erin Condren order? See link at bottom of post!)
I decided to be brave and try handwriting my lesson plans this year into my gorgeous Erin Condren planner. I bought those amazing Frixion erasable pens because I just knew I’d mess up my plans or have to make changes.. Plus, I hate my handwriting and figured I’d erase a million times to make it look as neat as I want it to be.
This idea lasted two whole seconds! I am required to put so many things into my lesson plans (standards, times, etc.) that I just couldn’t write it all tiny enough to fit everything in. Therefore I made a template so that I could type my plans and then print, cut and glue/tape them in. I posted a picture on Instagram and lots of teachers started asking for the template, so here it is!
Typing them and then printing and cutting might seem like a lot of extra work to some people, but I love how it turned out! I’ll do anything to make lesson planning a little more cuter! (Alternatively, you could print the templates on sticker paper or full sheet labels to save you from gluing – just cut and stick them on!)
Simply decide which of the 2 templates you’d like to use. Click in the text box to type/edit your plans. Print them out, cut the boxes apart and glue or tape into your planner. Examples and photos are included to give you a visual of what a finished product looks like. I hope you find this useful!
P.S. I obviously do not own Erin Condren and am making no profit from this template whatsoever. If you are not familiar with Erin Condren Teacher planners, check out Erin Condren’s website for more information.
The template is available for FREE on TeachersPayTeachers. I hope you guys find it useful!

June 24, 2017: There have been a few changes to the teacher lesson planner (2017 version) as far as text box sizes go. I have updated templates as well as updated the directions to edit. The new file is now on Teachers Pay Teachers!
Thank you so much for sharing this template! I just bought my Erin Condren planner and was nervous about hand writing my plans after doing them on the computer for the last several years. Thank you, thank you!
i’m totally not a teacher, but i wonder why someone hasn’t just create an editable planner that you can type and print? seems like i remember seeing something on a homeschool blog….maybe confessions of a homeschooler? but, i have to admit those EC planners are very pretty! if you printed your own, i’m sure you can have it spiral bound at office max or staples!
Of course there are editable planners out there. I’ve created my own lesson plan template for years. I wanted a change and opted for the cute Erin Condren planner. I made the free template for those with the planner who can’t fit in all of those lesson plan requirements but still want to use their cute planner.
Hi Ashley, I love, love, love, your template! I have been using it for three years now. I was wondering, is there a template for the grade book section of the plan book? I am really OCD and don’t like writing the names of my student in the book ( my hand writing is not as good as I would like). I am not very computer literate and had a hard time at first using the template. Now I have gotten the hang of it and would never go back to hand writing my plans. Thank you so much for all your hard work.
I’m so glad it’s been helpful for you Deborah! I don’t have any other templates right now for the Erin Condren planner, but I will consider it for the future! I know what you mean about your handwriting – I’m the same way! I don’t like my handwriting and find it much neater (and quicker!) to type everything!
This is fantastic!
Love this!!! Thanks!
I recently purchased this planner on Etsy, it is similar to the Erin Condren Planner but only cost 23$ I’m really enjoying it so far. https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/243174439/teacher-planner?ref=shop_home_feat_1
Could you make these for the new Happy Planner teacher edition?
I don’t own a Happy Planner so I cannot take measurements for it and adjust this template. Sorry!
This is wonderful! I was wondering if I wasted money by buying an EC teacher planner since I had so much typed up in my old plans…problem solved! Love it and already using it for next week’s plans 😉
Thanks you so much for this template. I too do not have the most attractive hand writing. I am on my second planner and I’m giving my assistant one for Christmas. So grateful.
Thank you for your ideas. It worked great for me and I teach 6th and 8th grade Language Arts !
You’re welcome! I’m glad it worked great for you!
