Power of Planning
When teachers are pressed on all sides and time is at a premium, the first part of the professional practice that seems to disappear is the commitment to planning.

When teachers are pressed on all sides and time is at a premium, the first part of the professional practice that seems to disappear is the commitment to planning.
What if all your students were engaged in every lesson? What if they were excited to be in class?
Each of the standards for mathematical practice begins with the words, “Mathematically proficient students will”, not “Teachers will.”
Sometimes as educators our lessons can be engaging, rigorous, relevant, and purposeful, but we still end up with a student that just does not want to put any effort into the class.
This past fall through CPM coaching, we partnered with a middle school in Wisconsin that was in its second year of CPM implementation.
I have been teaching high school students with the CPM curriculum since 2010.

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.
