ELA Teacher Planning Systems: 3 Must-Haves

Hey teacher friend — whether you’re poolside or couch-side, we know your brain is already soft-launching into next year’s prep. You’re already thinking about your ELA teacher planning systems, and we’ve got you covered.

In this episode, we’re breaking down the three essential systems every middle school ELA teacher needs before school starts. These are the systems that save time, reduce stress, and actually work — all year long.

We’re talking:
✔️ A reusable Best Practices Folder
✔️ Bell ringers that build routines and spiral standards
✔️ Systems for vocab, grammar, writing, and more

You’ll also get access to everything we mention — and extra resources — inside the ELA Core Club. Plus, we’ll show you how to start with our free First Week ELA Launch Kit!


Why These Systems Matter

When your classroom runs on strong systems, everything runs smoother. These aren’t just tips. These are proven routines that help ELA teachers take control of their year.

Need a daily routine for bell ringers? A consistent approach to teaching grammar? Systems that make writing instruction stick? We’ve got you. The ELA Core Club gives you tools, templates, and ready-to-go lessons.
