    This publication evolved from a collaboration with Australian educators to provide you with a true 'Teacher Planner' – a comprehensive tool to keep you fully organised, with lessons planned and tasks checked off through the year.

    The Elizabeth Richards 2024 Teacher Planner is designed to celebrate the daily learning journey of children, supported and guided by you, their teacher. We hope you enjoy using it as much as we loved creating it for you!

    Travelling the Flow of Learning. The artwork on the cover and gift box, and throughout the 2024 Teacher Planner, has been created by Mitch Francis, a Gunditjmara and Bundjalung man from the Illawarra Region of NSW. Mitch’s artwork, titled “Flow of Learning”, beautifully depicts the journey of a child through education:

    “Passing through the centre of the artwork is the child’s journey along the winding path of education and learning. The connecting blue lines lying behind symbolise all the places that each child visits throughout their own educational journey. The ‘U’ shapes along the sides of the design represent all the people who have been supportive in this journey.”

    More than a Teacher Diary ... it's a Teacher Planner! The Elizabeth Richards 2024 Teacher Planner is more than a teacher diary, it includes everything you need to organise and plan the school year. It's A4 size includes the highest quality paper, bound with a strong rose gold spiral coil.
