We also may collect, use, and share de-identified “Aggregated Data” such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Although Aggregated Data may be derived from your Personal Information, it is not considered Personal Information because it does not directly or indirectly identify you. For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the number of users accessing the Website and which features of the Website they are using. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your Personal Information so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we will treat the combined data as Personal Information which will be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

We collect Technical/Network Data. As you navigate through and interact with our Website, we may use automatic data collection technologies to collect certain Technical/Network Data about your equipment, browsing actions and patterns. We do not use automated technologies to collect information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or other online services (behavioral tracking). We do not maintain or associate the Technical/Network Data we collect with your Personal Information.

We may contract with third-party service providers to assist us in better understanding our site visitors. These service providers are not permitted to use the information collected on our behalf except to help us conduct and improve our business.

When you leave our Website, we encourage you to read the privacy notice of every website you visit and every application you use.

4. HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION

We implement a variety of security measures and provide training to responsible individuals to maintain the safety of your Personal Information when you enter, submit, or access your Personal Information, and to secure your Personal Information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration and disclosure. Although we do our best to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Information transmitted via the Internet to our Website.

Your Rights Under California Law

Marketing Disclosures. California Civil Code Section § 1798.83 permits users of our Website that are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. As stated in Section 5, we do not make any such disclosures. However, to make such a request, you may email us at the address listed in the “Contacting Us” section below. 

California Children’s Privacy Rights. If you are a California resident under the age of 18, you may request removal of content or information you have posted publicly on our Website. To request deletion or de-identification of a post publicly displayed on the Website, please contact us directly at the address below in the “Contacting Us” section. Please understand that there may be de-identified or recoverable elements of your content or information on our servers in some form, and we will not remove content or information that we may be required to retain under applicable federal or state laws. Please see the “Retention and Deletion of Student Records” section below for more information.

6. STUDENT RECORDS

Control of Student Records. Student records obtained by CPM from a “local education agency” (or its equivalent as defined by applicable law, and referred to as “school” in this section) are, and will continue to be, property of and under the control of the school. Such “Student Records” include any information directly related to a student that is maintained by the school or acquired directly from the student through the use of instructional software or applications assigned to the student by a teacher or other school employees. Student Records do not include de-identified information (i.e., information that cannot be used to identify an individual student) collected or used by CPM: (1) to improve educational products for adaptive learning purposes and for customized student learning; (2) to demonstrate the effectiveness of CPM’s products in the marketing of those products; or (3) to develop and improve CPM’s educational websites, services, or applications.

Control and Transfer of Student-Generated Student Records. Students can generate Student Records through the use of eWorkspace via the Website. The student’s legal guardian or parent (referred to as “parent”), or the student, or the school can opt-in to the use of this functionality – the person/entity making the opt-in decision will depend on the age of the student and whether the school or parent has licensed CPM’s Licensed Content for the student’s use. Student-generated Student Records will only be retained by CPM for the duration of the applicable semester, class or program. After such time, the school will control and retain all Student Records related to the student’s use of the Website.  

Ability to Correct or Access Student Records. Because the school enters and maintains the accuracy of the student roster, the school is responsible for providing the means by which parents and eligible students may review and correct erroneous information contained in a Student Record. To review, correct, update, or delete any Personal Information contained in a Student Record provided by the school, a parent, or eligible student should contact the school directly. If you have any questions about specific practices relating to Student Records provided to CPM by a school, please direct your questions to your school.

How CPM Ensures Security and Confidentiality of Student Records. Please see the “How We Protect Your Information” section above.

Notice of Unauthorized Access or Disclosure of Student Records. Please see the “Unauthorized Access or Disclosure” section below.

CPM’s Use of Student Records. Please see the “How We Use and Disclose Your Information” section above.

Use or Disclosure of Student Records for Targeted Marketing. CPM does not use or disclose Student Records for targeting marketing. Please see the “How We Use and Disclose Your Information” section above.

Retention and Deletion of Student Records. CPM certifies that Student Records shall not be retained or available to CPM upon completion of the terms of the applicable license agreement or Purchase Agreement with the school. Such certification will be enforced through the following procedure: within one (1) week following the expiration of the semester, class, or program covered by the applicable license agreement or Purchase Agreement, all data related to that class, including but not limited to Personal Information of a student, shall be deleted from CPM’s servers using industry best practices.

The school is responsible for managing Student Records which the school no longer needs by submitting a deletion request when the data is no longer needed.  Schools should contact us at the address below in the “Contacting Us” section to request deletion of Student Records if deletion is needed before the end of the semester, class, or program.  Please note that CPM can only comply with a school’s request to delete Personal Information connected with the student’s school user account (where the student uses a school email address or account login provided by the school pursuant to a license or Purchase Agreement between the school and CPM). Parents may submit deletion requests directly to us at the address below in the “Contacting Us” section. 

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act Compliance (“FERPA”). A student’s school will work with CPM to ensure compliance with FERPA by the following procedure: prior to the transmission of any Student Records, the parties will execute a license agreement or Purchase Agreement in accordance with FERPA unless the school demonstrates that the information to be provided to CPM has been designated by the school as “directory information” under FERPA.

7. DATA RETENTION

CPM will securely maintain Personal Information, other than Student Records, for only as long as required to satisfy applicable federal and state record retention requirements. Upon the expiration of such period of time requiring retention, the data will be securely de-identified or destroyed.

8. UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS OR DISCLOSURE

In the event of an unauthorized disclosure of a user’s Personal Information or Student Records (collectively, “Records”), CPM shall report such disclosure to the affected user(s) (or parent if applicable) within twenty-four (24) hours of learning the security, confidentiality, or integrity of such Records was, or is reasonably believed to have been, compromised. If applicable, CPM and the school or school district shall work together to provide notice to the affected individuals.

9. USE OF WEBSITE BY CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 13 / CHILDREN’S PRIVACY POLICY

CPM does not permit children under the age of 13 (“child” or “children”) to create an account without the consent and at the direction of a parent or school.  Please contact us at the address below in the “Contacting Us” section if you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child under age 13 without the appropriate consent so that we may delete the information as soon as possible.

Applicable laws in the United States and foreign jurisdictions regarding minors require us to obtain consent from a child’s parent for certain collection, use, and disclosure of the child’s Personal Information.  When CPM is used by a school in an educational setting, CPM may rely on the school to provide the requisite consent for CPM to collect information from a child, in lieu of parental consent. These Children’s Privacy Policy provisions only apply to children and supplement the other provisions of this Privacy Policy which apply to teens and adults.

This section hereby notifies parents of: (1) the types of information we may collect from and about children; (2) how we use the information we collect; (3) our practices for disclosing that information; (4) our practices for notifying and obtaining parental consent when we collect Personal Information from children, including how parents may revoke consent; and (5) all operators that collect or maintain children’s information through this Website.

Information We Collect from Children. Children can access many parts of the Website and its content and use many of its features without providing us with Personal Information.  However, some Licensed Content and eWorkspace and features are available only to registered users (which may include children) which requires us to collect certain information, including Personal Information, from them.  In addition, we use certain technologies, such as cookies (described above), to automatically collect information from users (including children) when they visit or use the Website. We only collect as much information about a child as is reasonably necessary for the child to access and use the Website, and we do not condition a child’s participation on the disclosure of more Personal Information than is reasonably necessary.

Information We Collect Directly. If a school contracts with CPM to make CPM’s Licensed Content and Website available to its students, the school will provide CPM with certain Student Records (defined above) for the creation of user accounts or the school will create user accounts for its students.  

Automatic Information Collection and Tracking. Please see the “Use of Cookies” section above.

How We Use Your Child’s Information. We may use the Personal Information we collect from your child to register the child for the Licensed Content for his/her grade level or class, and provide the Licensed Content and Website for your child’s use.

Our Practices for Disclosing Children’s Information. Please see the “How We Use and Disclose Your Information” section above.

Accessing and Correcting Your Child’s Personal Information. Please see the “Ability to Correct or Access Student Records” and the “Right to Access and Correct Your Personal Information” sections above.

Operators that Collect or Maintain Information from Children. CPM does not use any third-party providers who collect or maintain any information from children.

10. INTERNATIONAL USERS

If you are accessing this Website from outside of the United States, your Personal Information may be transferred to, and be maintained on, computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction. If you are located outside the United States and chose to provide your Personal Information to CPM, you are aware and hereby consent to CPM transferring your Personal Information to the United States and processing it there in order to perform under our contract (e.g., the applicable Terms of Use and license or Purchase Agreement) and for any other purpose for which you provide explicit, informed consent. 

11. CONTACTING US

If there are any questions or concerns regarding this Privacy Policy or if you would like to correct, update, delete, or request use or disclosure be limited to any Personal Information, you may contact us at security@cpm.org.

12. CHANGES TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY

If we decide to change our Privacy Policy, we will post those changes on this page and update the Privacy Policy modification date at the top of the page.  Your continued use of the Website following the effective date of such update constitutes your acceptance of the revised privacy policy.  We will not make any material changes to our Privacy Policy that relate to the collection of Student Records without first giving notice to the school, and obtaining consent from the school before Student Records are used in a materially different manner than was disclosed when the information was collected.

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.
