1. Teacher’s diary

2. Teachers diary
A teacher diary is a diary where a teacher records what happens in their classes and their thoughts about it. Teacher diaries are used as development tools.
Example After a class that went badly, the teacher makes notes in her diary about what happened, what she thought the causes were, ideas about how to change them and a short action plan.
In the classroom Teacher diaries are a good way to start a course of development; a natural second step would be peer observation, i.e. getting another teacher to analyse the class in the same way.
teacher’s diary is a sort of record of his day to day activities.
It may show him/her what he has done, what he is doing and what he plans to do in the future.
No elaborate lesson plans are to be written on the diary, brief outlines are sufficient.
In the beginning of the year the teacher may draw the blueprint of his yearly work.
Schedules of the syllabus to be covered term wise and month wise etc. may be prepared in each subject he has to teach.
