What is a personal teaching workspace?

A personal teaching workspace is a teacher-owned system where lessons, materials, calendar, timetable and yearly plans live together under your control. Unlike a school LMS or shared curriculum platform, it follows you when you change schools. GapFiller is built as a personal teaching workspace: one archive for your work, not an institutional gradebook or student portal.

What it includes

The category is defined by continuity for the individual teacher — not by school administration features.

• A calendar of lessons, exams and related events
• Materials linked to those lessons and curriculum topics
• A timetable that can generate lessons for a term or year
• A curriculum sequence you can reuse and adapt yearly
• Ownership that stays with you across schools and years

What it is not

A personal teaching workspace is not a school LMS, electronic register, or district curriculum map. Those tools serve the institution. You often need both: the school system for grades and attendance, and a personal workspace for the archive you take with you.

Why the category matters

Teachers rebuild planners every September, lose files when they change schools, and scatter work across Docs, Drive and paper. A personal teaching workspace exists to stop that fragmentation. If a tool’s main buyer is the school admin, it is usually not this category.

Where GapFiller fits

GapFiller is designed as a personal teaching workspace for individual teachers — with Standard, Pro and Lifetime plans. Lifetime is built for teachers who want a permanent archive without a recurring school-tied contract.
