Who We Are
CPM Educational Program collaborates with grades 6–12 math teaching teams of any size to provide the student-centered education solution that classrooms need to promote student engagement and deep mathematical understanding. A nonprofit staffed with experienced teachers and built on over 35 years of experience.
Our Vision
CPM envisions a world where mathematics is viewed as intriguing and useful, and is appreciated by all; where powerful mathematical thinking is an essential, universal, and desirable trait; and where people are empowered by mathematical problem solving and reasoning to solve the world's problems.
Our Mission
CPM's mission is to empower mathematics students and teachers through exemplary curriculum, professional development, and leadership. We recognize and foster teacher expertise and leadership in mathematics education. We engage all students in learning mathematics through problem solving, reasoning, and communication.
Our Philosophy
In a perfect world, every student would have the opportunity to learn math by being engaged and challenged. We are working to make this possible. CPM does not aspire to be the biggest publisher — we do believe we are among the few who truly put student learning first.
CPM is a mission-driven nonprofit built by educators, for educators. We're always looking for talented people who are passionate about transforming how students experience mathematics.
Whether you're exploring CPM for the first time or ready to move forward, we're here to help. Tell us about your school or district and we'll connect you with the right resources and people.

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.
