Description from the publisher:

"The Self-Propelled STUDENT Planner sets YOU and YOUR CHILD free to enjoy each school day. Providing a student with one of our planners gives him a sense of ownership of his work, which in turn fosters motivation and a positive attitude yielding an educational advantage over time."

 

 

My thoughts:

 

 I love the idea that students will do well when they are motivated and are able to work independently. These planners are a great tool for students to keep track of their work and record their educational progress.  

The planner begins with detailed instructions for both the parent and the child.  One of the things the author says that really stands out in this section is:  "Children are greatly motivated to excel on their own when parents set clear expectations and guidelines and then get out of the way."  

There are places to write out goals, notes, and document books that have been read. The student can fill out the work schedule for each week, in each quarter, of the school year. 

It looks motivational and easy to use.
