We have a confession to make: We have only recently become fully aware of just how poor the schools that we have taught in have been.
We all have a sphere of influence. Each of us needs to find our own sources of courage so that we will begin to speak.
CPM began as a math curriculum that would act as a pump rather than a filter, supporting students through math courses required for college admission rather than keeping students out of math classes.
Over the past year there has been increasing attention to mathematics pedagogy that dismantles racism in mathematics education.
If I could change one thing about middle school math it would be for us to stop using middle school math placement as the marker of status in schools.
Thank you to the many teachers who reached out looking for social justice resources. We hear you, and we appreciate the challenge.

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.
