Your school’s template, filled in — not replaced

Most planning tools hand you their format and leave you to copy everything across. HandsOnTop works the other way: upload the .docx programming or lesson-plan template your school actually uses, and it comes back as the same document — identical tables, cell shading, fonts and layout — with the content written in. Upload it once and pick it from your library every time after that.

Label and header cells stay untouched; the empty cells and grey placeholder guidance are replaced with real, editable content. You review every filled cell before downloading, and re-downloads of work you’ve already generated are free.

Or start from a blank page — without the blank page

No template? Type a topic like “Year 3 fractions” or “Kindergarten living things” and get a structured plan with learning intentions, sequenced activities, assessment ideas and differentiation for students working above and below level. Plan a single lesson or a multi-lesson sequence, then export to Word or PDF.

  • Complete plans in minutes: intentions, activities, assessment, differentiation
  • Multi-lesson sequences for unit programming
  • Your school’s own .docx template filled in-place — formatting preserved
  • Everything saved to your account for free re-download
