CPM is looking for teachers to be part of the Teaching Redesign Corps during the 2019-20 school year. For the last five years, more than fifty studies have been conducted by the members of the TRC. Findings from these studies have resulted in numerous suggestions for improvements in our current curriculum and professional development. This success has prompted CPM to support the next cycle of advancements, TRC 6.0, by continuing to trust in the intellectual efforts and wisdom of teachers. The goal for this next chapter is straightforward – help more students learn more math.
