What Teachers Say
"CPM requires students to be actively involved in learning. They do not just sit and take notes while the teacher does the problems. Now that I have used CPM for four years, we see more students taking more math courses at the high school level."
Bruce, Wisconsin
Math Teacher
"It has been the very best thing I have ever done in my classroom. To hear things like 'I finally understand something in math!' and 'Why haven't we been using this all along?' convinces me that my students are engaged and being successful."

This professional learning is designed for teachers as they begin their implementation of CPM. This series contains multiple components and is grounded in multiple active experiences delivered over the first year. This learning experience will encourage teachers to adjust their instructional practices, expand their content knowledge, and challenge their beliefs about teaching and learning. Teachers and leaders will gain first-hand experience with CPM with emphasis on what they will be teaching. Throughout this series educators will experience the mathematics, consider instructional practices, and learn about the classroom environment necessary for a successful implementation of CPM curriculum resources.
Page 2 of the Professional Learning Progression (PDF) describes all of the components of this learning event and the additional support available. Teachers new to a course, but have previously attended Foundations for Implementation, can choose to engage in the course Content Modules in the Professional Learning Portal rather than attending the entire series of learning events again.
