Who this learning pod planner is for

This planner is for parents who share teaching with a few other families in a learning pod or micro school. It suits pods that rotate homes, pods that hire a tutor and small groups that meet a few days a week. It keeps families, schedules, money and agreements clear so everyone stays happy.

How to use your learning pod planner

List every family and child on the pod families page. Set the weekly schedule and fill in the host rota so each home knows when it is their turn. Plan lessons on the lesson pages and take attendance each day. Record shared costs such as supplies or a tutor's fee. Agree on simple pod rules together and write them on the agreements page.
