Give Me Five!: Five Coach-Teacher-Principal Collaborations That Promote Mathematics Success

Give Me Five! provides the guidance and tools necessary to implement five coach–teacher–principal collaborations that have improved mathematics instruction for hundreds of students.The Five Collaborations

1. Strategic Planning Sessions
2. Mathematics Content Learning Team
3. Shared Classroom Experience
4. Mathematics Vertical Learning Team
5. The Ten-Minute Meeting

When implemented correctly, they happen within and as close to the classroom as possible, and actually become a significant means to saving time and alleviating stress.Video Clips The online video clips and interviews invite you inside K–5 schools for a seeing-is-believing look at math coaches, teacher leaders, teachers, and principals collaborating in action.
