CPM partners with Fresno Pacific University to offer accredited professional development units for practicing teachers and administrators — grades PreK through 14. Strengthen your practice and your credentials at the same time.
Accredited by the Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities, WASC
CPM's professional development workshops qualify for university credit through Fresno Pacific University's Center for Professional Development — giving teachers a path to strengthen both their classroom practice and their professional standing.
CPM course offerings fall into the 1000 series — professional development workshops and conferences designed for teachers with baccalaureate degrees and appropriate teaching credentials. These are post-baccalaureate, professional development units.
Courses serve practicing PreK–14 teachers and administrators. They are designed in collaboration with school districts to meet specific staff development needs — not part of a degree program, but built to strengthen what happens in the classroom.
FPU's Center for Professional Development works with school districts to provide courses that strengthen teachers, school districts, and the students they serve. The primary goal is meeting local staff development needs.

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.
