1 gallon of ice cream + 1 inspired group of teachers = success every time
A basic, absolute, fundamental fact of life is that the best events in life should, and do, begin with an ice cream social.

A basic, absolute, fundamental fact of life is that the best events in life should, and do, begin with an ice cream social.
When I boarded the plane leaving Seattle after my week at the Veteran ABP (ABP-V) the following questions came to my mind: What have I conceded for the sake of having a classroom with the appearance of classroom management, order, and compliance?
“The ABP provided me with many new ideas as well as a greater confidence in delivering the curriculum, and an ever-stronger commitment to the CPM program.”
When I was accepted to attend the Academy of Best Practices, my hope was to learn ways to improve my students’ experiences in my classroom.ABP
Every school year, I end feeling like there are SO many more things I can do to make learning math more fun for my students.
Imagine walking into a classroom with white board walls covered with ideas you have come up with, teachers huddled in groups exchanging thoughts, algebra tiles spread across tables, remnants of oversized bubbles, candy, participation tickets, and eyes lighting up as people have ‘aha’ moments!

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.
