#5 - How To Use Different Layouts – Teacher/Student Layout – How to Plan Series
On December 6 of the year 1981, my sister was born. On the day before her sixth birthday, I was born! I was the little real-life baby doll that came home on her birthday. She loved to try to mother me and pick me up, so much so that my first two words were “No Amana”. I grew up sharing my birthday with my sister; it was just the way it was, and I didn’t really question it, but I do recognize now how rare it is to be born that close to someone else in your family so many years later. My mother did a great job making our birthdays unique and different, even though we often shared parties, and I’m very thankful for my birthday buddy.
I grew up wanting to be my cool older sister, who wore makeup and had all the cool clothes. I would steal her clothes until I grew up and she could fit into mine. At that point, we would constantly swap clothes back and forth. I remember this one black-and-white jacket that had two pieces. We swapped each piece back and forth for years. I really should ask her if she still has it because it’s not in my closet!
We are still close, and she, too, decided the homeschool journey was for her! That’s why we decided the best layout would be the teacher-student layout so she could keep track of her kids, her work, and anything else, like chores and meal planning.
Here is The Amanda Teacher Student Layout
The Amanda Teacher Student Layout has two checklists with ten check box spaces on the left with a weekly tracker. There are five rows and seven columns. This design can be divided into five days with seven categories or seven days with five categories.

Now let us get into those characters I created in the previous post and show you the separate ways the sections can be divided!
1) Single Person
In this example, this person is tracking their work tasks and meetings, home chores, and the extra areas they want to declutter. They are taking self-care more seriously and want to read more books. They also track their weekly TV shows and gratitude!
Single Person Example
2) Working College Student
This student is finishing up their college career, focusing on the study groups and studying for their ending exams and upcoming graduation!

3) Working Family
This working family divides the sections into family members and keeps track of their children’s rotating chores, the parents' responsibilities, and their weekly dinners.

4) Homeschool/SAHM Family
This SAHM keeps track of their weekly themed days for homeschool, their own self-care, daily room decluttering, daily chores, and their gardening to-dos.
Homeschool/SAHM Example
5) Busy Entrepreneur
This busy entrepreneur keeps track of their weekly meetings and the prep work for those meetings, their expense tracking, their daily scriptures, and their health. On the spectrum of health, they are tracking their mood and anxiety on a scale system.

The teacher-student layout is great for those with a couple to several main and subcategories and want to keep their data together and quickly see what needs to be done weekly. I also encourage you to look up other teacher-student layout planner spreads to get more inspiration for design and data organization.
Stay tuned for future teacher-student spreads to get more inspiration for other ways to switch up the design!

**Edited after publication – I spoke with my sister about the above black-and-white jacket. She does not know where it is either, but said she has most of her clothes in storage. Should we look to see if we can find the jacket? Let us know in the comments!
