Two days of hands-on sessions, rich discourse, and practical strategies, led by CPM authors, teachers, and teacher-leaders. Ideas you can use on Monday morning.



The CPM Teacher Conference brings together educators from across the country for hands-on learning, real classroom strategies, and a community that gets it. Here is what you can expect.
Sessions led by the CPM authors, teachers, and teacher-leaders who build and teach the curriculum every day.
Hands-on strategies and classroom-ready ideas you can put to work the moment you are back with your students.
Focused sessions across grades 6–12, from Inspiring Connections and Core Connections through Precalculus and beyond.
Connect with hundreds of CPM educators, share what works, and leave energized, inspired, and part of something bigger.
The 2027 Teacher Conference is hosted at the Hyatt Regency SFO, minutes from San Francisco International Airport and a short trip from the heart of the city. Extend your stay and explore one of the most iconic destinations in the country.
Walk or bike across one of the most photographed bridges in the world for sweeping bay views.
A landmark food hall and farmers market on the Embarcadero waterfront.
Ride San Francisco's historic hill-climbing streetcars, a designated National Historic Landmark.
Waterfront shops, fresh seafood, and the famous resident sea lions.
The oldest Chinatown in North America, full of history, food, and shops.
Gardens, trails, and world-class museums across a park larger than New York's Central Park.
Whether you are new to CPM or have taught it for years, the Teacher Conference has something for you. Educators at every stage come together to learn, share, and grow.
Middle and high school math teachers looking for practical, ready-to-use strategies and fresh ideas to bring back to their students.
Coaches, department chairs, and administrators supporting strong, collaborative math instruction across their schools and districts.
Educators just getting started who want a strong foundation, hands-on guidance, and a supportive community from day one.
Veteran CPM educators ready to go deeper, refine their practice, share their expertise, and take on new leadership roles.
The conference takes place February 20 to 21, 2027 (Saturday and Sunday) at the Hyatt Regency SFO, located near San Francisco International Airport in Burlingame, California.
Registration opens in September 2026. Check back then to secure your spot, or sign up to be notified when registration goes live.
The Teacher Conference welcomes middle and high school math teachers, instructional coaches, department leaders, and administrators, whether you are new to CPM or have taught it for years.

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 who 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.
The Building on Instructional Practice Series consists of three different events – Building on Discourse, Building on Assessment, Building on Equity – that are designed for teachers with a minimum of one year of experience teaching with CPM instructional materials and who have completed the Foundations for Implementation Series.
In Building on Equity, participants will learn how to include equitable practices in their classroom and support traditionally underserved students in becoming leaders of their own learning. Essential questions include: How do I shift dependent learners into independent learners? How does my own math identity and cultural background impact my classroom? The focus of day one is equitable classroom culture. Participants will reflect on how their math identity and mindsets impact student learning. They will begin working on a plan for Chapter 1 that creates an equitable classroom culture. The focus of day two and three is implementing equitable tasks. Participants will develop their use of the 5 Practices for Orchestrating Meaningful Mathematical Discussions and curate strategies for supporting all students in becoming leaders of their own learning. Participants will use an equity lens to reflect on and revise their Chapter 1 lesson plans.
In Building on Assessment, participants will apply assessment research and develop methods to provide feedback to students and inform equitable assessment decisions. On day one, participants will align assessment practices with learning progressions and the principle of mastery over time as well as write assessment items. During day two, participants will develop rubrics, explore alternate types of assessment, and plan for implementation that supports student ownership. On the third day, participants will develop strategies to monitor progress and provide evidence of proficiency with identified mathematics content and practices. Participants will develop assessment action plans that will encourage continued collaboration within their learning community.
In Building on Discourse, participants will improve their ability to facilitate meaningful mathematical discourse. This learning experience will encourage participants to adjust their instructional practices in the areas of sharing math authority, developing independent learners, and the creation of equitable classroom environments. Participants will plan for student learning by using teaching practices such as posing purposeful questions, supporting productive struggle, and facilitating meaningful mathematical discourse. In doing so, participants learn to support students collaboratively engaged with rich tasks with all elements of the Effective Mathematics Teaching Practices incorporated through intentional and reflective planning.
