You are cordially invited to attend a five-day CMP Teacher Leader and Coaches Workshop on the beautiful campus of Michigan State University, June 18–22. 2012. This conference is intended for professional development leaders (coaches, teacher leaders, curriculum coordinators) who are committed to providing ongoing support for teachers who are striving for more effective engagement with the CMP curriculum. Attendees will have a chance to discuss how to design professional development opportunities in your district. Characteristics of effective CMP classrooms will be examined through classroom videos, student work, and other artifacts. Coaching strategies for helping teachers develop students' understanding of key mathematical ideas in CMP will be exemplified. The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) curriculum and the Mathematical Practices (MP) and CMP2 will be discussed during the week.

While these videos could be used in CMP unit training workshops, conference participants will...

Look deeply at the mathematics embedded in the curriculum;
Increase their understanding of mathematical connections within units in a grade level and across grade levels in CMP;
Examine the teaching model and its role in developing student understanding;
Understand the varying needs of teachers new to this curriculum and develop activities for meeting these needs;
Develop strategies to help teachers plan, teach, assess and reflect more effectively on their teaching practice;
Learn about various models for professional development and apply this knowledge to designing and reﬂecting on their district/institutional models; and
Develop awareness of current research and theory relevant to CMP teaching and implementation.

The conference requires an application. The first 40 applicants who meet the above criteria will be accepted.
