As an educator, I teach students life skills such as perseverance and self-compassion through mathematics, but how often do we push our own growth in those same ways? Once we find what “works” for us, we get comfortable and often become complacent.
The Site-based Leadership Program is a collaborative network of local instructional leaders and CPM’s Professional Learning Team. The program was developed to help maintain professional relationships, guide successful curriculum implementation, support student learning and achievement, and build in-house leadership.
CPM is now 18 months into the accreditation process that began in January of 2021.
“At first, I was just excited to be able to present and to make some professional connections.”
We all have a sphere of influence. Each of us needs to find our own sources of courage so that we will begin to speak.
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.”

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.
