After you have submitted a preview request we match you with a local CPM Regional Professional Learning Coordinator. They help discuss your needs and help you with moving forward in the piloting and adoption process.
More information can also be found in our Quick Guide.
The CPM Pilot Program is an opportunity for a school or district to implement CPM curriculum with professional development and support as they navigate the adoption process. CPM believes that learning, change, and proficiency take time. Because of this philosophy, we recommend a semester or one-year pilot.
All of the CPM programs emphasize problem solving, communication, collaboration, and critical reasoning by students. In order to be approved for the CPM Pilot Program, a school or district is required to send teachers to scheduled CPM Professional Learning (some travel may be required).
When you are interested in adopting CPM’s high-quality curriculum and multi-year professional learning, please use our Review Documents and Tools for your evaluation.
How does a department, school, or district decide on a math program? Before a review process begins, all adoption stakeholders should identify a collective set of goals. CPM recommends the Instructional Materials Evaluation Tool (IMET) for mathematics and the Materials Analysis Tools by NCSM as starting points.
Teachers
CPM Professional Learning helps educators and school leaders learn the art of teaching, establish collaborative practices, and build confidence in student-centered teaching strategies. Learning events facilitated by educators with CPM classroom experience address real challenges and provide practical solutions that tackle and transform root mindsets and beliefs.
Students
CPM programs help boost student engagement, strengthen student conceptual understanding, and invite student discourse with a collaborative learning community, employing an instructional approach that values perseverance and taking risks.
Students in a CPM-style student-centered classroom experience more engagement and belonging. This supports students in developing more confidence in themselves as mathematicians, both in the classroom and in the world around them.
I have loved CPM for all six years that I have done it.
The CPM support that made my implementation better was the team roles. Collaboration in my class is somehow challenging, but with the team roles, it helped me a lot.
The CPM content is great at providing problem based work for the students to conquer in class.
I loved the opportunity to process and reflect with a CPM person. It also was a great opportunity to ask questions.
I think this is an amazing curriculum...trust the authors, trust the process, trust your knowledge of your classroom.
The in person events were most helpful because I had a person who has been successful with CPM assure me that I am doing it right and to keep on keeping on. She was inspirational.
Jeremiah gave me some great feedback to think about and it felt very supportive! (Not scary or evaluative at all.) His visits and our conversations have helped support our team's alignment with the philosophy of CPM and implementation of Inspiring Connections.
These trainings were led by teachers who had taught CPM for many years. We would go through the first few units, do the problems, and practice using the supports that CPM recommends. By the end of the multi-day summer sessions, we had a handful of lessons planned. These were extremely helpful.
My students work in teams, and I have seen a significant improvement in willingness to share ideas and collaborate on problems.

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.
