I decided to go with a different teacher planner this year but knew I would miss having an EC planner so I bought a vertical life one when they launched. There is something so special about EC planners! Love the review!
Hey Bryn:) I agree- nothing feels like an Erin Condren Planner:) I am glad you are able to use a vertical even if the Teacher Planner isn't the best one for you:)
Thanks for this sneak peek! I wish they would offer a vertical weekly option in addition to the horizontal. I prefer to be able to see the entire day on one page without having to flip the book. Also, the clip folio is beautiful but I was really hoping it was a 3 ring binder inside! 😭
I agree about offering the vertical weekly option also- I think it would sell-but maybe not enough for them to make it?! Oh, a binder! I think they should produce some binders for teachers!
Hi Amanda, I am glad you got to go to Estes Park. I was just there and thought of you. Now as far as the planners, I prefer the Target ones or soft bound. There are the Focus ones too. I have no idea why but I have trouble snapping covers and snap ins on and off. You are great at it, though. I did love the teacher record book you showed. I use those for tracking habits. Also, I love the blush pad folio. I know black is supposed to be professional, but that is more my style. As always I love the channel. Thank you.
How fun that you were just at Estes park:) It's such a magical place! Thank for watching and taking time to share you thoughts on the teacher planners. The Target ones, and softbound ones are great options! I just love that they offer so many options;)
I have one or 2 old videos under my channel- probably under the Teacher planners playlist...but they are old...and I don't really plan to do anymore since that is not my wheelhouse on UA-cam;)
@@AmandasFavorites Totally makes sense. I am new to homeschooling and still love looking for ideas - I always get such great ideas from your content I will definitely look for those old videos! Thanks for responding!
Wow, I am happy to saw a little of the production center. There is lot of work behind these beautiful planners and accessories. Thank you for showing. I am so in love with the new Mettalic Wildflowers. I did not resist to buy from this new collection :)))) Just missing the little ruler to add in this beautiful notebook (I know, it just come with the planner, not with the notebook, saddly)...
Hi Sylvie:) I loved hearing what you chose! the wildflowers are beautiful and calming:) It's too bad they don't sell the ruler separately for you. But I love the 3 pack of mini snap in book marks- they work so well:)
Completely appreciate you showing the new vegan cover. I am going on my 9th teacher planner this year and was really excited to have a different cover option. Unfortunately I use the elastics bands daily and crinkling the top of my plastic sleeves would make me very sad (and annoyed). I am REALLY grateful for your insights on the new cover.
I’m always most excited for this launch! I’m really wondering which color scheme I’ll end up choosing. Two things that I really hope they fix for next year: 1) the “checklist” tab is completely hidden by the last “July” tab. I’m not sure why they wouldn’t have just put the “checklist” tab lower. As someone who uses the checklist pages daily in our homeschool, this is a bigger deal for me. 2) I don’t think they’ve modified the stickers included with the ECTP in a few years. For a company that charges a premium price point, I would like to see the stickers have some thought put behind them. All-in-all, looking forward to my new teacher planner!
Hey Katie;) Really good points! As someone who doesn't use the planner I didn't notice the tab issue. And I understand your point on the stickers that come with the planner:) Thank you for taking time to watch and chime in:)
I haven't seen one...I wasn't able to attend the EC town hall zoom for affiliates about this launch. I will ask one of my friends that was there and get back to you;)
Yes! Thank you! I am losing my words these days and it has me a bit worried. I can't believe I didn't talk about the washi because I really liked it! I will try to share it on Instagram in stories before I leave on vacation- if I forget in my packing and cleaning craziness I am sorry!
You need wet erase markers. Erin condren sells some or office stores or amazon:) You could use a sharpie if you want something on there a long time...and that comes off with rubbing alcohol.
Insiders can order on the 16th, then opens to the general public on the 17th:) And thank you so much for using my link! What a great thing to get for your daughter;)
Still can not fathom why they keep coming out with A5 size planners, etc. But they have yet to come out with an A5 sized folio like the ones that are Camel or slate blue colored 7x9 size that they have had for years.
I think the inspire planner is beautiful. But I'm a little disappointed that it's the "same" planner again, just a different design (many people complained about this last year). I really wish they would make some changes and updates. For example, I really wish they would have all the lined pages in a notes section, not dispersed though out the planner (or give us the option to choose like Plum Paper does). I attend multiple meetings and can never find where I took the notes for that meeting. I'm also disappointed with the stickers. I need more functional stickers as a teacher. Most of them I cannot use because they do not apply or they take up too much space. They have also been the same stickers for years. At this price point...give us something new and functional. This may be the first year I do not purchase an EC Teacher Planner.
Hey Casey, I really liked hearing your perspective after using the teacher planner. I hear you on all the changes you want. I can understand what you mean about the stickers. Thanks for watching and chiming in:)
I bought the "Focused Assorted Multiliner 6-Pack" to try out. But they made a big mistake, at least to me. They have a tan sort of body but they put the description of the pen in white. So very hard to read.
I always love the school year start...full of exciting possibilities! Thanks for yet another fun and thorough review!
Yes Susanne! That is exactly how it feels to plan and dream about a new school year;) Thanks for watching!

Yay! Got my order in!
Ah, exciting! Enjoy making those plans for next year;)
I’m not a teacher but liked the markers and a few of the pads … your so informative with your videos.. thank you!
Hey Jewel:) I love that they have accessories that anyone could enjoy:) Thanks for watching and chiming in:)
Your review makes me wish I was a teacher or had kids in school! Thank you for such a thorough review!
Right?! LOL! That's what an Erin Condren Teacher planner will do to you! LOL! I really wish I had this when I was teaching...I would have loved it!

I want that Target TP!!! Love the layout.
It's a good one I agree:) yay!
Thanks for another great review - it’s always so fun to watch. Have you ever shared on previous content anything about what you do for homeschool?
I have one or 2 old videos under my channel- probably under the Teacher planners playlist...but they are old...and I don't really plan to do anymore since that is not my wheelhouse on UA-cam;)

ahhh thank you for sharing!
Samantha Kuhr are they releasing a binder insert this year????
I haven't seen one...I wasn't able to attend the EC town hall zoom for affiliates about this launch. I will ask one of my friends that was there and get back to you;)
Do you know if they will show sneak previews of the teacher planner before the launch this year?
I do not know?! I bet they will:)
No three ring binder this year:(.
Thanks for sharing that...I did finally look it up and find that out. I guess they didn't feel enough.
The stickers are transparent! ❤
Also did I miss the part where you talk about the washi?
Yes! Thank you! I am losing my words these days and it has me a bit worried. I can't believe I didn't talk about the washi because I really liked it! I will try to share it on Instagram in stories before I leave on vacation- if I forget in my packing and cleaning craziness I am sorry!
She talks about the washi at the beginning of the video 😊
I am looking at getting one of the snap in dashboards for my planner. What type of pen do you recommend to use with them? Could you use the dual tips?
You need wet erase markers. Erin condren sells some or office stores or amazon:) You could use a sharpie if you want something on there a long time...and that comes off with rubbing alcohol.
@@AmandasFavoritesthank you!
Will the teacher planner be available in 7x9?
I don't think so..I just tried to look on their website and didn't see it.
I'm buying one for my daughter and will be mindful to use your link. Ordering starts on the 15th and 16th, right?
Insiders can order on the 16th, then opens to the general public on the 17th:) And thank you so much for using my link! What a great thing to get for your daughter;)
I like the old folios better. The covers are "stiff". This new one looks too flimsy to me.
I understand:(

There is no reason, at least to me, that EC can not write the color name on their pens in a dark/black color ink.
that could be nice!
I bought the "Focused Assorted Multiliner 6-Pack" to try out. But they made a big mistake, at least to me. They have a tan sort of body but they put the description of the pen in white. So very hard to read.
That is not a sticker book. More of a "sticker pad" now.
good point...it is like a pad;)
@@AmandasFavorites - Not much that has made me want to "have to get" these past couple of launches this year as they have in the past.
