mommaklee Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Forgive me if I am jumping the gun, but it looks like Franklin Covey is set to release Student Planners in a couple of weeks and they look amazing! I was searching for student planners and found this website, http://premier.us/tools-planning/products-students/planners/product-line/foundations I contacted Franklin Covey and they said they'll be out in a couple of weeks priced at $12.95 per planner. They are interactive between parent/ teacher and student and have some great principles and precepts involved. Just wanted to share, because I am geeking out, and don't want to geek alone :) - Mommaklee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kolamum Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 This is how I feel with planners. :LOL: Oh that is SO me when planners are involved. Most girls collect shoes or purses, or even dresses. I collect planners & tote bags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sagira Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 These look cool! I wonder if my self-professed goofball/buffoon will like the middle school planner, though (no cartoons). Do you think he, who will be in sixth grade next year, could still benefit from an elementary school planner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spoke with a customer rep (live chat) and they said the planners will show up on their website a couple of weeks from when we talked. I put in my planner to look into it again next week (June 16 or so). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, sorry for taking so long to get back to this. I should have been more clear. The planners weren't live yet on the Franklin Covey website, but were on this bulk order website. I talked with customer service rep via Live Chat on Franklin Covey and plan to check back at the site next week. (June 16). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think he, who will be in sixth grade next year, could still benefit from an elementary school planner? I am not sure. I think if it was the "Elementary" not "Primary" you'd be fine... 6th grade was the first year I used a planner too...The best planner is the one you use :) If the Monsters encourage the 6th grader to use a planner where he wouldn't use a plainer planner then it would be worth it to me.

imagine.more Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 You can find them here. Thanks so much for that link! I think I'll be getting my 12 year old one, I've been searching for a good student planner for her and I love the character building focus!

yvonne Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Looks like the high school agenda is also live now, but only in the block format. I hope they offer the matrix format at some point. Thanks for posting about the planner, mommaklee. I hadn't seen this one before, and it's just what I've been looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest smoller Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I have done a ton of research about planners for my executive-function challenged middle schooler who I am about to start homeschooling this fall, and this is the best designed one I have seen yet (at least in terms of functionality; unfortunately its not so beautiful: http://orderoochaos.com/shop-products#!/~/product/category=5059090&id=34250373. I am a huge fan of the systems behind Franklin Planners and they literally have been a game-changer for me personally but the student planners on their site are, in my opinion, not nearly as well-thought out. I don't believe they are even made by the Franklin Covey company. The brand is Premier Agenda (maybe the two are related, I don't know). In the middle school planner on the Franklin site, the classes are listed down the left but there is only room for 4 subjects (maybe 5 if you squish) and the names of the subjects may not correspond to the subjects you teach your kids. Also the planner is quite small so it may be challenging for some kids to write on the lines. It is virtually the same planner (same company, same size, etc) that my local public middle school gives out to kids and I stopped using it for one of my kids (the one I will be homeschooling) because I just found it too cramped and inflexible to be effective. Last year I ended up making a planner for my daughter by customizing a teachers lesson planner using guidelines from the book "The Organizing Student" but I was so excited to stumble across the Order Into Chaos one linked above because it is essentially the same thing, but doesn't require that I do any work. I am planning to buy copies for all three of my kids for this school year. I just wish the covers were a little more stylish but what can you do....

RanchGirl Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Did anyone order the Franklin Covey high school planner? I am considering it but I can only find the 5x8 for sale on the FC site. I think the 7x9 size looks more useful. I need to order something soon.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RanchGirl Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Anyone using these planners? I would love to hear reviews. I went ahead and ordered the 5x8 size today. I'm not sure it will be perfect but I can't wait any longer to get going on this, I have already waited too long. I may have my son use a separate notebook to keep track of assignments and just use the planner for tests & scheduling. If anyone else like me still needs to order their planners for this year and wants to save a few pennies, I found a 15% off coupon (code 22220) and I went through Mr Rebates for a 6% rebate.

kathy_overman Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 We went with the Success by Design planner, and our boys love it. They want to write down the work they have finished - and they have never before wanted to write a thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I went with a journal like this. It is just a plain journal, well with super heroes in the background of each page. I write a week's worth of assignments on a 2 page spread. He simply crosses things off as he finishes them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Dd chose the Success by Design high school planner---so far, so good (second week in). She's been writing due dates/test dates in the top 'priorities' section, her daily assignments in the larger middle section, and her ballet classes and rehearsals in the bottom 'activities and appointments' section.

Is there any chance you could take a pic or otherwise let me see it in the nuts-and-bolts version (divided by subject? Level of detail? What about things that are just "do the next thing " kind of things?)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any chance you could take a pic or otherwise let me see it in the nuts-and-bolts version (divided by subject? Level of detail? What about things that are just "do the next thing " kind of things?)? I am only using this for my son to have a daily list of assignments and check them off, not for my own planning. I put Monday - Wednesday on the left page and Thursday and Friday on the right page. We do more on Thursday and Friday because of subjects we are doing with his sister. Today looks like this: LA Lesson 13 Math Lesson 14 Science Lesson 45 History Lesson 92 My Side of the Mountain pg. 93-101 Reading Lesson 2 & 3 Cursive practice pg. 23 Perplexor Puzzles Free Reading: Lightning Thief Together Subjects: Review S&S Ch. 1 Introduce MP Astronomy Quiz on States studied Exodus overview For my own planning, I used a spiral notebook. I am using primarily CLE, BJU, and MP materials. I took each subject and made a list of the number of lessons, chapters, or units in each. I estimated how much would have to be done each week cover all of those in our school year. I made a list of each week in rows with columns for each subject and wrote which lesson numbers or chapters to cover each week. Then, I'm making a summarized list for a whole week at at time. This is what I use to make the daily lists for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
