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.
The beliefs that shape how every CPM student learns mathematics.
Vision
A world where mathematics is intriguing, useful, and appreciated by all.
Mission
Exemplary curriculum, professional learning, and teacher leadership.
Philosophy
Every student engaged, challenged, and put first.
In 1989, a group of Sacramento math teachers walked into a room with a shared conviction: that algebra should open doors, not close them. What they built together, with two Eisenhower grants, five weeks, and a borrowed van, became one of the most widely used math curricula in California.

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 who 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.
