Bridges Implementation Guides

The Math Learning Center provides a collection of free materials that can help teachers, administrators, and other support staff as they implement the Bridges curriculum. We offer two options for implementation support as well as an administrator's handbook. Each resource is described in more detail below.

Teacher-Led Implementation Guides

The Teacher-Led Implementation Guides help teachers conduct bi-monthly meetings in grade-level teams at their own schools. Each guide is a plan for an hour-long meeting in which teachers prepare for the upcoming Bridges unit or month of Number Corner. During each meeting, teachers clarify the learning objectives, share the responsibility of preparing materials ahead of time, and generate solutions to any challenges they have encountered.

Facilitator-Led Implementation Guides

The Facilitator-Led Implementation Guides help facilitators, such as district math specialists, conduct monthly meetings for groups of about 10 to 45 teachers at a single grade level. In each two-hour meeting, the facilitator helps teachers prepare for the upcoming unit and month of Number Corner by providing an overview of the lessons, doing some model teaching, generating solutions to challenges teachers have encountered, and more.

Administrator Handbook

The Administrator Handbook provides guidance about how principals and other administrators can help teachers successfully implement the Bridges curriculum. The handbook includes ideas about how to support teachers and evaluate the success of the curriculum in individual classrooms and in the entire school.
