New Course Guide

So I have a syllabus that I've used pretty much every year for the past seven years.  The information has of course changed on it as I've moved schools and taught different classes but overall my life was easy because I just modified it as needed.

Since things were nice and easy naturally I got the bright idea to start from scratch and make something brand new.  That's normal right?  I was inspired by Jessie Hester's post on her parent handout.  It's no secret that I like graphic design which is why I really like this.  I think it's a lot easier to read and just easier to look at.  I like the way the information is chunked and I also took out a ton of information that I suspect no one really ever looked at twice.

inside

outside

What it'll look like in in the notebook, no shrinking required:

closed

open

Want one for yourself? I uploaded an editable version below with all of my information taken out for anyone that would like one.  It won't look the same without the fonts though, so you may need to download the fonts that I used.  Also, the "Classroom Rules" section I took from another file that I had created so it is an image and therefore not editable.  The entire rest is able to be edited though.

The fonts I used are: Covered By Your Grace and Universal College.

  2. Love it! I've been pinning different course guide ideas and this is definitely my favorite! Thanks so much for sharing! I've already started adjusting it for my 6th grade math class!

  5. I stumbled across your blog courtesy of Pinterest last Tuesday (the DAY before school started). I have been racking my brain for ideas to keep my 7th grade Reading class more organized, and I am so happy I found my way here. We will be using the ISN this year (thanks to your awesome posts and detailed descriptions). I have shared your ideas with my husband (a high school Math teacher) and all my other middle school co-workers. Thank you so much-- being a 5th year teacher with a toddler at home I needed this inspiration to kick it back into high gear this year. I feel the creative juices flowing, and I've actually been excited to do my lesson planning and organization this weekend. Good luck with the start to your new school year!

  6. Thank you for all of your wonderful ideas and sharing your resources. I am teaching 7th grade Pre-Algebra for the second year now and have just discovered all these wonderful blogs. Your the best!

    ReplyDelete
  7. I absolutely love this format. The graphic design is awesome and the information is perfectly organized and concise. I love the way you incorporated the flap with the student/parent signatures so that the entire thing can be included in the student's ISN in one piece. Thanks so much for sharing this...I'm creating my own tonight! And thanks to Jessie Hester for her idea! Sweet!
