Mr. H’s math department has just adopted CPM. He is three weeks into the first term when suddenly his students realize that they are putting much more effort into their math learning then they ever have in their learning career.
The March 2020 issue of the Journal for Research in Mathematics Education published a study titled “Parental Beliefs on the Efficacy of Productive Struggle and Their Relation to Homework-Helping Behavior.
In our last article, we encouraged you to set a new year’s resolution. We also suggested a few ideas, such as improving STTS and assessment practices. How is it going?
My name is Kayla Patterson. I am currently in my third year of teaching at Augusta Middle School in Augusta, WI. I teach seventh and eighth grade mathematics using Core Connections, Course 2 and Course 3.
Assessing students is an issue that all teachers grapple with, not just CPM teachers.
It all started when a bright young freshman in my geometry class asked me “Why don’t freshmen get some sort of bonus for being in a sophomore level class?”

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.
