The Impact of Coaching
What Changes When Teachers Are Coached
CPM’s coaching model is designed around a simple insight: when teachers grow, students benefit. Research and participant feedback consistently point to three areas of meaningful change.
Student-Centered Goals Drive Practice
Effective math teaching practices develop from student needs, not teacher behaviors. Coaches and teachers set goals together based on what students need most, creating a direct line between coaching and student learning.
Measurable Impact on Student Learning
Teachers with coaching support are able to navigate towards and make measurable impacts on student learning. Increased student achievement is a core goal of the coaching model, alongside deeper teacher clarity and long-term instructional change.
Changed Beliefs and Instructional Habits
Coaching results in changed beliefs about what it means to understand and learn mathematics. Teachers report greater clarity in implementing new practices, and become more thoughtful about their instructional decisions over time.
CPM Coaching Model
An Integral Part ofCPM’s Mission
CPM’s coaching service focuses first and foremost on the needs of students while partnering directly with teachers and school/district administration. It is imperative that teachers be willing participants in the coaching partnership and embrace the opportunity to engage in this reflective model of professional learning.
