Building on Foundations
for Implementation

This live event is intended for participants who have experience using CPM. If you are new to CPM, please enroll in a Foundations for Implementation live event instead.

What Will I Learn?

  • Builds upon the Foundations for Implementation Series
  • Explore strategies to motivate students, foster curiosity and cultivate a collaborative classroom culture
  • Leverage the design of CPM courses to build upon what their students know to support the success of each and every student.

Content Sessions

Content Sessions provide participants the opportunity to collaborate and engage with the mathematical storyline of the course(s) they teach with an experienced CPM classroom teacher.

These live sessions offer course specific support via a walk through of the chapter to gain insight into how it fits into the mathematical storyline of the course. Content Sessions offer additional support in conjunction with the On-Demand Content Modules available through the Professional Learning Portal.

Learn to Use Algebra Tiles

In this two-hour virtual session, participants will learn how students build their conceptual understanding of simplifying algebraic expressions and solving equations using these tools which are a concrete, geometric representation of algebraic concepts.

Objectives include the following:

  • determining perimeter
  • combining like terms
  • comparing expressions
  • solving equations
  • using an area model to multiply, factor, and complete the square

The tiles support the transition from a concrete (manipulative) representation to an abstract model of mathematics.

Foundations for Implementation

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.

Building on Instructional Practice Series

The Building on Instructional Practice Series consists of three different events – Building on Discourse, Building on Assessment, Building on Equity – that are designed for teachers with a minimum of one year of experience teaching with CPM instructional materials and who have completed the Foundations for Implementation Series.

Building on Equity

In Building on Equity, participants will learn how to include equitable practices in their classroom and support traditionally underserved students in becoming leaders of their own learning. Essential questions include: How do I shift dependent learners into independent learners? How does my own math identity and cultural background impact my classroom? The focus of day one is equitable classroom culture. Participants will reflect on how their math identity and mindsets impact student learning. They will begin working on a plan for Chapter 1 that creates an equitable classroom culture. The focus of day two and three is implementing equitable tasks. Participants will develop their use of the 5 Practices for Orchestrating Meaningful Mathematical Discussions and curate strategies for supporting all students in becoming leaders of their own learning. Participants will use an equity lens to reflect on and revise their Chapter 1 lesson plans.

Building on Assessment

In Building on Assessment, participants will apply assessment research and develop methods to provide feedback to students and inform equitable assessment decisions. On day one, participants will align assessment practices with learning progressions and the principle of mastery over time as well as write assessment items. During day two, participants will develop rubrics, explore alternate types of assessment, and plan for implementation that supports student ownership. On the third day, participants will develop strategies to monitor progress and provide evidence of proficiency with identified mathematics content and practices. Participants will develop assessment action plans that will encourage continued collaboration within their learning community.

Building on Discourse

In Building on Discourse, participants will improve their ability to facilitate meaningful mathematical discourse. This learning experience will encourage participants to adjust their instructional practices in the areas of sharing math authority, developing independent learners, and the creation of equitable classroom environments. Participants will plan for student learning by using teaching practices such as posing purposeful questioning, supporting productive struggle, and facilitating meaningful mathematical discourse. In doing so, participants learn to support students collaboratively engaged with rich tasks with all elements of the Effective Mathematics Teaching Practices incorporated through intentional and reflective planning.
