The Fundamental Five provides a concrete guideline to help teachers improve instruction. "F5" increases the level of cognition in a classroom by channeling teachers actions into tangible practices which improve student retention of content.

" Recognition and Reinforcement is the most powerful of the Fundamental Five." -Sean Cain

Creation of a classroom cue can remind us to provide personal and specific recognition to students for academic and social behaviors which increase student achievement.
