Order out of Chaos Academic Planner is the best on the market. Designed for an easy, one-time set-up, this planner has weekly and monthly overviews, space for seven classes, and an afterschool planning section. The monthly tabs and long-term assignment trackers make it easy for students to create and follow a plan.
Highlights: The Order out of Chaos Academic Planner is intuitive and easy to use. Whereas many planners require students to rewrite their schedules or class names each week, the OooC’s clever design allows a student to record their course information once for the whole year. This is especially important for students who find executive functioning tasks and organization difficult because they are more likely to use a system that seems to run itself. The 8 ½ x 11 planner provides four wide lines per subject per day, so there’s plenty of room to record multiple assignments for each period, even for someone with fine motor challenges. Each box also has a small “done” checkbox to help users keep track of their assignments. The After School section at the bottom of each day helps remind students to plan their time from 2:00-8:00 each evening. Students can record extra-curricular activities and family events in advance to help them manage their available time efficiently. At the beginning of each month, there is a calendar overview and a project planner page. These are useful for visual learners who benefit from seeing how assignments overlap. The planner also has several study and project planning guides, including reminders of what to ask teachers before a test, what study materials to gather in preparation, and the steps to completing a project successfully.
The Order out of Chaos planner can easily survive the beating it will receive in backpacks for an entire calendar year. The planner begins in July and ends in June, so students in every part of the world can use it year-round, no matter when classes start or end. The company offers several non-gendered covers beginning in March for the next school year. The front and back are made of flexible plastic, and the binding is a sturdy spiral.
Ideal for: Students in 3rd-12th grade and adults who are managing several timelines simultaneously
