The premise of this book sounds great but it just does not live up to expectations. The majority of the book is comprised of organizational forms that are simplistic and could easily be done yourself with a few minutes on a word procdessor or spreadsheet, and done much more conveniently and with more depth and flexibility on any of the various homeschool organizational software programs that are available. There are a few helpful articles in the book, but they are too few to warrant the price.

I bought this in a desperate moment of wanting to be more organized with my homeschooling, (we all ahve those moments) and since it is the only one out there I thought I would give it a try. It is alful. There is no binding, no colorful front, and the pages are basically copied and thrown in a box. The copies are even crooked on the page! The price for this is outlandish considering the product and I really regret buying it. PLease don’t waste your money, you are better off creating your own– if you are worried that yours will be too unprofessional or will look too homemade– don’t. That is exactly what this one looks like.This is an absolute waste of money that could be better spent. Een a teacher’s plan book would be better than this.In short, don’t waste your money!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was not a very useful resource or practical planner. The designers really should step away from the one-size-fits-all strategy and let users buy packages of the specific pages they want to use – like Franklin Covey time managers, for example.
I bought this book when I was THINKING about homeschooling, so it SOUNDED great, but once I began homeschooling and realized how many different ways there are to do it, I also realized that no single planner could ever be “the ultimate homeschool planner” for all families.
I have used just ONE of the pages in this book, and I had to make my own photocopies – the book just provides the master!!
You are MUCH better off tailoring a curriculum planner to your own specific needs. If you can’t make a word document look the way you want, then use a ruler and notebook paper and photocopy your page. Get a 3 ring binder and some dividers, and some of those page reinforcers to reinforce the holes, and you will be set. You can also have the kids design the cover to slip in the binder if you want something a bit more decorative.

I think one of the biggest challenges of being a homeschooler is that the world can quickly rest on your shoulders. As a mom and a homeschooler, you have to manage all the day-to-day demands of running a househould coupled with being solely responsible for children’s education… (which often means teaching a zillion subjects!) It’s easy to spend so much “getting ready” and “getting set up” or “doing house tasks” that there is little time left for schooling. Knowing that you can give your children a better education than public school and then finding a plan you can implement are two different things. This book laid out a very clear path and course. Not only does it show how to manage teaching all sorts of subjects (along with ideas of how to teach and where to find free curiculum) but it also helps manage the day to day household tasks and organizing. It creates a budget for homeschooling, a simple way to access progress so you won’t have to wonder… “I am doing this right?” It provides templates for book reports, science experiments and more. No matter what question I had or where I needed guidance, this planner offered it. Best of all, all the pages are designed to be photocopied. That way you don’t have to buy a new planner each year. Instead, you can simply make additional copies. I think a planner like this was long overdue. I think every homeschooler will find benefit in this binder.

As a new homeschooler who thrives on organization, I was thrilled with THE ULTIMATE HOMESCHOOL PLANNER! Not only is it full of easy to use forms and checklists, but it is a great way to begin and maintain your homeschooling journey.More than a colorful binder to organize important paperwork, The Ultimate Homeschool Planner is just that– a way to PLAN your strategy for success. Although other planners have forms for attendance and curriculum, this planner helps you KNOW what you need from the very beginning. The planner includes a Quick Start Guide, which is great for those who can’t read a book cover to cover until they can sit down uninterrupted. So really there is no longer a valid excuse for being a disorganized homeschool teacher! Sections include: Getting Started, Curriculum Planning, Logging Your Learning, Templates & Units, and Home Management. Since I have only been homeschooling less than six months, I found the Getting Started section invaluable, and spent a lot of time assessing my son’s learning level. Currently I am in the process of researching curriculum for the upcoming schoolyear, so the timing was perfect. This way I could be sure I purchased the perfect materials for my son, who is in between grade levels in more subjects than one. But the questionnaire didn’t end there– it continued beyond the usual scope and sequence for each grade level with worksheets to assess Student’s Knowledge, Parent Knowledge, and a Student School Questionnaire. The time management tools are superb, showing the teacher how using Time Blocks can easily create a Month by Month breakdown and Weekly Time Block (schedule). There are also worksheets (templates) for : Focus Goals, Goal Overview by Subject, and Monthly Goal Planning. What a useful tool this is for those who are organizationally challenged. It’s a top notch tool that no homeschooler should be without.
