  • Description: Foundations for Core Connections occurs prior to the start of the school year and is for teachers new to implementing CPM’s Core Connections series (but can also be just as beneficial for experienced CPM teachers who haven't attended PL in awhile and simply want a refresher/catalyst for the new school year). The entire series contains multiple components and is grounded in active experiences delivered over the first year. The experiences in the foundational series will encourage teachers to adjust their instructional practices, expand their content knowledge, and challenge their beliefs about teaching and learning. Through this learning event and additional on-demand work, teachers and leaders will gain first-hand experience with CPM and concentrate on the course content they will be teaching. Over the course of the series, educators will experience mathematics, consider instructional practices, and gain strategies to create the classroom environment necessary for a successful implementation of CPM curriculum resources. Participants will need to complete the fall and spring one-day follow-up events (either virtually or in person at a Regional Site) to complete the full Foundations for Core Connections series.
