CPM Research
For over 35 years, CPM has been studied, measured, and validated by independent researchers. Explore the performance reports, conceptual studies, and real-world impact stories below.
Real Schools. Real Results.
Independent case studies from real districts documenting how CPM transformed teaching practice and student outcomes in diverse school settings.
By the Numbers
Quantitative performance data across school types and demographics, measuring outcomes for students in CPM Core Connections and Inspiring Connections curricula.
Core Connections
Inspiring Connections
Head-to-Head
Three longitudinal studies comparing conceptual knowledge outcomes between CPM and traditional mathematics instruction, conducted in 1992–1994.

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 who 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.
