When you were introduced to CPM’s professional learning, you may have heard the following statement, or something similar, from a CPM workshop leader: “These changes are challenging. However, it is worth it and we will support you.”
You may remember the story from your youth about the little engine that could.
In February, I was asked to arrange a school visit to Indian Mound Middle School in McFarland, WI for a few teachers from a neighboring middle school.

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.
