Most parents want their children to do well in school and they are usually willing to trust the teacher.
Here is what I see most often when a parent attempts to help a frustrated child with CPM homework:
Last year I invited four teachers into my room to solve The Locker Problem in front of my senior math class.
While I am not the world traveler that CPM’s own Chris Mikles is, I do find myself crossing the country many times a year.
Only twelve short months ago, the idea of kickstarting a program for continually investigating instructional improvements was just that, an idea.
I recently attended a middle school parent meeting. Their guest speaker that evening was Lisa Hatamoto, founder of Inspiring Student Success.

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.
