What is the most precious resource that teachers never have enough of?  

Time.

The theory of Teaching Channel was that video could provide for teachers top-quality lesson plans in under 5 minutes, ready for use the very next day.

Each video distills the wisdom of a master teacher, teaching a grade/content specific lesson, filmed documentary style in actual classrooms, edited down to 5 minutes with teacher commentary edited in.

The goal?
For other teachers to absorb a practical, useful, and inspiring lesson plan including tips and examples of real world best practicies for making it happen... in less than five minutes.
