As a teacher, I know there are many types of tasks to balance in a day. This to-do list has sections for goals, emails, calls, meetings, appointments, and miscellaneous tasks.

I also know how easily things get forgotten, so I included a dedicated section for “tasks to postpone.”

• Layout: Portrait
• Number of pages: 1
• File name: Teacher-To-Do-List.pdf

Features:

• Sections for emails, calls, meetings, and appointments.
• Dedicated “tasks to postpone” area so nothing gets lost.
• Works as a daily or weekly list for daily tasks for teachers.
• Undated format so you can print and reuse anytime.

• Vibrant color scheme that looks great in a teacher binder or teacher toolbox.

Beginning of the Year Teacher Checklist

If you want a beginning of the year teacher to do list, start with your daily plan and a short setup checklist. This keeps your routine simple and helps you remember the small tasks that add up.

• Print 5–10 copies and use one page per day for the first two weeks.
• Make a short list of routines to teach and add one per day.
• Set up a simple “paper + planning” stack for your desk and your teacher binder.
• Add recurring tasks to the same spot each day (attendance, copies, parent contact, follow-ups).
• Use my birthday tracker for teachers so birthdays don’t get missed during the busy first month.
• If you teach multiple preps, pair this page with my weekly 6 prep teacher lesson planner so planning and tasks stay together.

Teacher Binder Setup Ideas

If you keep a teacher binder, this page works well as your daily front sheet. It also fits in a teacher toolbox system if you want a grab-and-go routine for planning time.

• Put this teacher to do list in the front pocket for quick daily use.
• Use one section divider for “this week” and move completed pages behind it.
• Add a notes section using college ruled note paper printable for quick lists and meeting notes.
• If you want a smaller planner section, add my 3-subject teacher lesson plan template behind your weekly plan tab.
• Create a “copies + supplies” page and use it as your running list for the week.
• Keep an end of year checklist tab so you don’t scramble in the final weeks of school.
