Weekly Teacher Planning and Reflection Diaries for Australian Primary School Teachers (Foundation to Year 6)
Primary teachers are expected to plan across multiple learning areas while responding to student needs, behaviour, attendance patterns, support plans, and curriculum expectations. A weekly system only works if it supports what teachers actually do: plan learning, teach it, observe and assess, record evidence, then adjust the next week. That is the purpose behind this collection.
Each diary in this collection is designed around a clear weekly structure that supports English, Mathematics, Science, HASS/HSIE, HPE/PDHPE, The Arts, Technologies and Languages/Other, with dedicated space for capabilities and priorities such as ICT, Ethical understanding, Intercultural understanding, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures, and Sustainability. Teachers can record curriculum links in the format required by their school, whether that is national curriculum alignment or state syllabus references.
The Butler Method approach is built into the format to reduce overwhelm and make documentation sustainable. With space to plan learning intentions, track success criteria, capture evidence types, record adjustments, and reflect each week, these diaries support stronger teaching habits and clearer reporting â without relying on scattered notes, extra templates, or after-hours paperwork.
