Summer has arrived, and with it comes refreshing iced tea, eaglet adventures, and exciting plans for the months ahead! We kick off with a spirited discussion about National Iced Tea Day, sharing our personal brewing preferences and debating the merits of sweet versus unsweet varieties. Remember those old commercials where people would fall backward into pools after a refreshing sip? We certainly do!
Our eagle-watching journey continues with an exciting update: Sunny has officially fledged! After weeks of practice flaps and hovering attempts, this brave eaglet took flight on June 2nd while Gizmo continues preparing for the big moment. We draw parallels between these fledgling birds and the human experience of leaving home, noting how Sunny still returns to the nest occasionally—not unlike college students coming home for weekends.
The heart of this episode features our Professional Learning Team sharing what they're most excited about for the upcoming academic year. From Bree's multilingual learner book study to Ernesto's enthusiasm for new Spanish translations of Inspiring Connections materials, the passion is palpable. Kathy Williams highlights the contemporary updates in Core Connections third edition, while others discuss summer learning events including the Building Thinking Classrooms Conference and the Academy of Best Practices for New Teachers.
Between national park adventures, camping trips, favorite band concerts, and our company-wide Terrific Team Building event in September, there's plenty to look forward to personally and professionally. What are you excited about this summer? Share your plans and join us on June 24th for our next episode celebrating International Fairy Day!

An outreach of CPM EducationalProgram.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Boom.
Okay, it's June 10th.
I can't believe it's Junealready.
It may seem really long becausethere was a week after Memorial
Day, but then boom, now it'sJune.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
It always seems like the January comes, like it's the
new year, yes, and then all ofa sudden it's June, like somehow
I always miss.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
February, march.
You miss, like the first sixmonths of the first five months
of the year Interesting.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Yeah Well, it's June 10th.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
And, as always, we're going to talk about what the
National Day is.
So what day is it today?
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Today is National Iced Tea Day.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Iced tea.
I like how you have toenunciate it Iced tea.
Well, I mean, people say allthe time iced tea.
It's not iced tea, it's icedtea, iced tea, all right, so
it's iced tea, iced tea, allright, so it's national iced tea
day it is whoo, hmm, are youiced tea fan?
I do like a good iced tea doyou like them sweet, like sweet
(01:36):
tea, which is different thaniced tea, right not?
Speaker 1 (01:39):
sweet.
I remember traveling in the Iguess, the southeast of the
country.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
There was a question like well, it was kind of
assumed sweet, but you had tosay non-sweet please.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Non-sweet iced tea.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
That's even more tongue twister-y.
Yeah, I'm not sure I'veactually had real quote unquote
sweet tea that you know wouldexist in the south, because if
you just get iced tea and youput a crap ton of sugar in it I
guess it's not the same, which Imake sense, because it's cold
now, it would not absorb as muchsugar as you.
If you make it when it's hotscience, cool it.
Yeah, it's his science.
(02:16):
Yeah, so you like a regulariced tea.
Do you put?
Do you put anything in it?
Do you put sugar or salt orlemon in it?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
well, well, I do like an Arnold Palmer, so it's, with
the lemonade, half and half.
I like the taste of that.
I do brew iced tea in the sunlike a sunbrew.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
You do sun tea.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
And then I like lemon in that as well, like just some
sliced lemon in the jar.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
So your sun tea is like a caffeinated, regular
little black tea or whatever.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Mm-hmm, lipton, it is a Lipton yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Wasn't there some commercial, probably when we
were kids that, like people,would like drink the Lipton and
then they would fall backwardsinto the pool?
Do you?
Speaker 1 (03:04):
remember that Refreshing, I remember, yeah,
like it was just some sort thenthey would fall backwards into
the pool.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Do you remember that, refreshing?
I remember, yeah, like it wassome sort of.
Oh, it was so refreshing theywould just like literally like
plank fall into the pool.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I didn't remember when we were kids.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
we used to try it.
We used to try to do that.
It's hard to keep your legsstraight.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Oh my.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Well and far enough from the fall.
So you don't like, well, yeah,yeah, you have to like fall into
the pool, but anyway, that'snot relevant.
I mean it's kind of relevantbut it's related but not
relevant.
Um, yeah, I, I, I, I likecertain iced teas.
I'm really more of an herbalprobably iced tea person.
Like if you just get iced tea,like a lot of times when we go
to conferences and things likethat, that's what they give us
at lunchtime.
It's iced tea or water, right,and that iced tea just I don't
know, it's a little bitter, Idon't know.
It's just not very exciting tome.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
I'll drink it, but it's whatever, I still like the
that tea for whatever.
Yeah, yeah that's fine.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Um, I do try to make sun tea and I think I often brew
it too long or I need to likefine-tune.
My, I like the idea of it.
I'm always like, oh, it'ssomething refreshing to drink,
that's just in the fridge.
And then I need to find theright flavor because I think
sometimes I'm like this does nottaste very good.
Actually I'm not excited aboutdrinking it.
(04:19):
But yeah, I need to fine-tunemy tea game.
I do drink tea Now.
I switched from coffee to teain the morning.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Okay, hot.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
So I feel like I could should be able to
extrapolate that into some agood iced game.
Yeah, but probably herbal CauseI'm.
I've been on the caffeine allday Well.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
I can understand that .
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Yeah, so.
So what does it suggest that wedo to celebrate national iced
tea?
Speaker 1 (04:48):
I was just looking at that.
It says you could drink it likethe Southerners do, like the.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Southerners.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Take an hour out of your day to steep some sweet tea
.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Wow, yeah, it takes an hour.
Do I have to watch it for theentire hour or do I like make it
?
I mean, it probably didn't giveyou the recipe, well, no recipe
, I have to monitor it for anhour.
Then I'm like what the heck isgoing on with this tea.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Yeah, well, the steeping, I think it's just the
steeping part, yeah, yeah.
And then it says you could siton the front porch on your
rocking chair.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Sip your ICT while you read While it's steeping.
Well after the steep, oh, after, after.
And then you could read cat ona hot tin roof.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
What?
That's very specific, yeah, butif you don't have a porch, or a
rocking chair.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
You can do it inside, in the living room or another
space is what it says so veryspecific and you also, you have
alternates that's right, I dohave a front porch, but I have a
porch swing.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
I don't have a rocking chair on my front porch.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
That's it.
I do have a rocking chair on myporch wow, nice.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Well, there you go.
Is that what you're going to dotoday?
You're going to sit on yourrocking chair and read cat on a
Hot Tin Roof and sip your icedtea.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
I might, instead of reading Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,
because I don't drink sweet tea,so I want to have a different
tea.
You're already makingalterations.
The inventor of tea?
Speaker 2 (06:22):
I don't know the inventor of tea.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
I don't know, tea is invented, which is the mythical
figure Shen Nong.
Yes, who Shen Nong?
Okay, back in 2737 BC 2737?
Speaker 2 (06:40):
That's a very precise , very specific for a mythical
creature.
Well, the Chinese had a lot ofrecord keeping, so I think about
that story.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
I'm just interested in the inventing tea part.
How do you invent tea?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
I thought it was already like well, I mean, you
probably invented the making ofthe plant itself, but like
realized oh, we can dry thisthing and then put hot water on
it or water on it and make itinto something that that still
fascinates me, how peoplefigured out stuff like that that
we take for granted I think teais less fascinating to me than
how people figured out yogurt oryou know, cheese.
Speaker 6 (07:14):
Let's let this stuff rot and then or only rot a
little bit and then eat it yeahit's just, it doesn't sauerkraut
really come on everything aboutthat.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Let's see, it was way easier, like oh, we already eat
plants, maybe if we do someother things.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
But very true.
How are you going to celebratein any way?
Speaker 2 (07:37):
I will probably still have some tea.
I might try, I'm gonna, I'mgonna fine-tune my son tea
recipe.
I need to figure out, like, howmany tea bags you're supposed
to put in, how long to let itsit, so that I actually because
I would like to have some thissummer like a really actually
good source of nice sun tea.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
So that's what pretty big, substantial iced tea bag
and you put it in the coffeemaker and just let hot water run
through, so that your coffeepot then holds hot tea and then
(08:16):
I pour it into the carafe withthe ice and that's a quick iced
tea for anybody who's interested.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
There you go.
Now you've got a method, allright.
Well, enjoy your National IcedTea Day.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Indeed.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
All right.
So today so today we have afollowing this we have a segment
where we asked the some of themembers of the professional
learning team and the curriculumand assessment team to give us
year academic year what they'relooking forward to.
(09:09):
So we thought we would start bytalking about what we're
looking forward to and, as partof this, we need to give an
update on the Eagles, because wetalked about the Eagles a lot
last time.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Well, and we're looking forward to some things.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Yeah, we are looking forward to some things with that
.
So first update.
Speaker 7 (09:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
So Sunny and Gizmo, the two eaglets in the big bear
valley if you didn't listen tothe last podcast, we talked
about the eagles quite a bit.
So sunny fledged on june 2ndand it was pretty cool because I
think you messaged me right inthe middle of, like our big
company wide it was so exciting,it was exciting, it was
(09:49):
exciting, yeah so sunny just,it's like they've been sitting
there like we talked about,they've been flapping and, yes,
then sunny did like a hover onetime like kind of like jumped up
and hovered and then came backto the nest and then yeah yeah,
just sort of like set up thereand flapped a little bit and
then all of a sudden just leaptoff and flew to another tree and
it was pretty exciting.
It was pretty exciting.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Very exciting yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
And and then now, like today, sonny's back on the
nest, which is interesting thatjust came back yesterday ate
some food with Gizmo, and nowit's like hanging out on the
nest again, so which I guess ispretty common right.
They just kind of fly around toother trees and the parents
still are watching them andmaking sure they're okay for a
few weeks, which is it'sprobably like for humans, when
(10:32):
the kids go away somewhere, theytend to come back, at least
with my daughter.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
They would come back a lot in those first few months
and now I don't.
Samantha has fledged.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Samantha's fledged, fully fledged, yeah yeah, that I
thought is interesting too.
I feel like they've beenfeeding them less.
So, it's like, oh well, we'renot going to give you so much
food.
You keep coming back here.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
You need to go get some food, or maybe the parents
go out to eat now and stuff likethat.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Yeah, exactly, oh, we're going to eat our own fish
over here.
We need to bring it to you yeahwe'll bring you the leftover
bits, but yeah, so Gizmo isgetting closer, doing a lot of
wingers and stuff, but Gizmo isnot fledged.
So that's one thing we'relooking forward to is.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Sunny fully fledging going away being on her own and
Gizmo fledging.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
So, definitely, what else are you, you looking
forward to, joel, I guesspersonally I'm looking forward
to?
I'm going to be doing somenational parking this summer and
it's one of your things, it'sone of my things get my junior
ranger badges.
We're going.
I can't even think of all theplaces, but in the lower oregon,
northern california area, soyou're going to go to crater
lake, which is which is the onlynational park in Oregon.
(11:46):
Well, there's some monumentsand stuff like that along the
sites.
Yeah, it's the only nationalpark, that's right, yes, yeah,
and so taking that, I'm reallylooking forward to that trip.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Are you coming up to Portland?
Are you going to be that close?
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Okay, yeah, oh well, I'm not aware I'll be there.
So apparently you were justgoing to drive through and not
tell me Well.
I mean Now, everyone knows.
I don't want to call you outhere, but we've talked about
this like twice.
Oh, it's not on my calendar.
It's not on my calendar.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
So it doesn't exist on my calendar.
I don't have access to yourcalendar, but Well, I can see
your calendar, but I don'tcreate your things.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
All right.
Well, we're putting that on thecalendar after we get off this.
Okay, sounds good.
What else are you lookingforward to?
Any work stuff you're lookingforward to?
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:33):
For work stuff I'm really looking forward to.
So we just I'm working with afew districts that I've just
implemented, so that's alwaysfun for me to get people
onboarded with CPMs and thingslike that, but then also I'm
doing some building on things.
So I'll be working withdistricts and teachers that I've
been working with for a while,and at the end of the year I
(12:54):
don't hear too much from folksand then as the summer hits and
the new year begins, that's whenall the exciting stuff happens,
so I'm looking forward to thatfor sure.
How about you?
What are you looking forward to?
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Well, this summer I'm looking forward to forward to.
There's a couple things thatI'm looking forward to.
This summer.
I had a couple trips planned.
I'm gonna go, we're gonna go upto seattle and see my favorite
band play my favorite album likein its entirety so it's like
the 20th anniversary of deathcap for cuties plans so we're
gonna go up and see that.
I'm really looking forward tothat and then then we got like a
couple of camping trips plannedand stuff that I'm looking
forward to.
It's always good to get out andand be out in the out in the
(13:36):
wilderness.
I agree, cool, um, so that's.
So.
That's really fun.
And then work wise.
I think I'm looking forward toa T-squared I don't remember
what that's.
Terrific team building.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Terrific team building.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
All right, thank you.
So every year a couple of years, I don't remember the frequency
now we have our company-wideevent that we all get together
in person, which is alwaysreally exciting because we all
work remotely, so a lot of timeswe don't see each other very
often.
I mean the PL team.
(14:12):
Fortunately we have theconference't.
We don't see each other veryoften.
I mean the pl team fortunatelywe have the conference, so we
get to see each other there atleast every year.
And then so this, our terrificteam building, our company-wide
event, is at the end ofseptember and I'm looking for,
I'm looking forward to that.
It's kind of nice because it'swe all get together and I'm not
in charge of everything so thatis also like extra, extra fun
extra nice for me.
Yeah, yeah, Extra bonus.
So I'm looking forward to thatand then I'm hoping.
I'm hoping it's.
I unlike a lot of the PLTM, Idon't always have as much as
(14:37):
many as events and supportvisits and things to do, and so
I'm hoping this year there's acouple, and this year I won't be
going to Wyoming, which I'vebeen doing for the last few
years.
That's ended.
They're taking care ofthemselves now, which is great.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
I love that.
That's the whole point, yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Yeah, but I'm hoping that there's a couple of
coaching contracts.
I'm hoping at least one of themwill get picked up and they'll
have some school connectionscoming up for next year.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
It'll be exciting.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Yeah, so I'm looking forward to that and hoping it
arrives.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Awesome.
It's so funny when you talkabout like we're virtual, so
seeing people in person.
I remember one of the veryfirst in-person things when I
saw people.
There was a few people that Iwas like wow, you're a lot
taller than I thoughtno-transcript.
(15:56):
We hope you're looking forwardto stuff as well.
Speaker 8 (15:58):
All right here you go .
Hi, my name is Bree.
I'm a professional learningspecialist at CPM, located in
Woodland, california, and one ofthe things that I'm excited to
do this summer is to just dosome reading.
I'm really excited to dig intoa book called Welcome to
Teaching Multilingual Learners,and I'm particularly excited for
(16:21):
this because I'm doing it as abook study with about five of
their colleagues, and this isone of my favorite ways to read
a book.
I love hearing everyone's ideas.
I love talking through thingstogether, coming up with
solutions with one another, andthis is just a topic that I'm
passionate about.
(16:41):
I love learning about newstrategies to support
multilingual learners and beingmore active and just
knowledgeable members of ourmath classes.
So that's what I'll be doingthis summer and I'm really
excited.
Speaker 6 (16:59):
Hey, it's Jocelyn, the Regional Professional
Learning Coordinator for theNortheast, coming to you from
the great state of Connecticut.
And something I'm lookingforward to in next year is the
Site-Based Leadership Program.
So the SBL program providessupport and resources for
leaders at their site in allstages of their implementation.
(17:19):
So new leaders, experienced CPMusers and leaders in all stages
of their leadership, soteachers who are just taking on
an instructional leadership roleversus really seasoned district
level leaders.
It's an exciting group ofindividuals with a lot of great
questions and experience, andit's just a ton of fun to get
(17:40):
the group together and see whateverybody's up to.
I am super excited because inthe fall we're going to be
launching a book study on CPM'sInstructional Coaching Toolkit,
so you get to engage with someof the authors and have
discussions with colleagues fromall over the country about
coaching and improving classroompractice and really making
(18:03):
positive experiences forstudents.
The program also offers sometimely tips and tricks that will
be coming to your inbox andyour feeds.
So we're excited for some newways to engage and sustain our
leadership and keep the momentumgoing at our schools.
We also have a well-stockedresource library, so things that
(18:25):
you can just take to yourclassroom that you can bring to
your site resources aboutclassroom implementation,
building effective teacher teamsand also building your own
leadership capacity.
So in the SBL program we reallyhave something for everyone,
with all your problems ofpractice and awesome ways to
(18:46):
connect and grow both your teamand yourself.
So we hope that you will joinus for some part of SBL, because
this is what I am reallyexcited about for next year.
Speaker 7 (18:59):
My name is Nicole Gorgas and I am in Victoria,
minnesota, and I'm on theprofessional learning team for
CPM.
I'm looking forward to theAcademy of Best Practices for
New Teachers hosted in San Diegothis year for teachers in their
first five years of teaching.
Teacher burnout is real, so itwill be so great to help these
(19:20):
teachers recharge and prioritizesome key actions for their
upcoming school year, whilehaving lots of fun.
Speaker 10 (19:28):
My name is Ernesto Bautista.
I'm one of the writers at CPM.
One of the things I'm reallylooking forward to is the
release of the Spanishtranslations for Inspiring
Connections materials.
That includes Mathetician'sNotebooks, obviously, the
lessons themselves, the resourcepages, the door questions, even
some of the questions teacherscan ask to help students move
(19:50):
forward in their thinking.
Teachers can ask to helpstudents move forward in their
thinking.
What excites me the most isknowing that more students will
have access to these materials.
These materials inspirereflection and critical thinking
and connection and they reallymake me wonder as I've been
(20:13):
reviewing them.
They make me think about mysixth grade self and my seventh
grade self and as someone thatwould have needed translated
materials, how would I haveresponded to some of these
reflection questions Then?
Who would I be and where wouldI be in my math journey had I
had these types of high qualityinstructional materials back in
(20:35):
that day?
And it just it's very excitingto think about.
Another thing that makes mereally excited is to think about
the teachers and how theteachers are going to be able to
make those connections withstudents.
Sometimes the language barrierstend to negatively impact the
way that you can connect withstudents, but having even just
quick answers with preferences,like in some of the questions
(21:02):
that can invite a certain levelof connection with students, and
that's super exciting to thinkabout how teachers will use this
and those thinking questions.
Sometimes students are stuck intheir thinking and they don't
know how to move forward andjust a simple question about
well, what about this?
Or just saying something, willhelp them move those along.
(21:25):
And again, that languagebarrier tends to get in the way.
So I'm hoping this will empowerteachers to help those students
move on, because we all wantstudents to succeed, but
sometimes the hard part is howdo I do that?
So it's super exciting and I amlooking forward to seeing how
that goes.
Speaker 5 (21:45):
Hi, this is Kathy Williams.
I'm a member of theProfessional Learning Team and
I'm from Louisville, kentucky.
I'm really excited about ournew Core Connections third
edition curriculum that iscoming out this summer.
You'll notice that it's got anew look and there's some new
features in it, withcontemporary updates, and these
are all based on the latestresearch about how students
(22:07):
learn using a student-centered,problem-based curriculum.
So some of these new featuresinclude the lesson focus.
This includes the languageobjective, the standards for
mathematical practice and themajor conceptual ideas.
The lesson at a glance sharesthe learning intent for the
lesson, materials and materialspreparation needed, an overview,
(22:32):
the lesson sequence and pacing,and this includes a door
question.
These door questions are agreat way to get to know your
students and to build communityin your classroom.
It has embedded supports andidentifies the math standard for
the lesson.
These lessons do follow thetraditional sequence of Launch,
(22:52):
explore and Closure.
However, we've introduced somenew launch formats, which
include Math Chats, data Talks,dot Talks which One is Unique,
notice and Wonders differentways to engage students at the
beginning of class.
The Explore format hasopportunities for virtual
interactive activities to helpstudents to build conceptual
(23:15):
understanding, and I do want tonote that many integral parts of
Core Connections 2nd Editionstill remain.
You'll find the learning logs,toolkits, the mixed-based
practice in the review andpreview problems, the puzzle
investigator problems, theparent guide and those lesson
math casts.
So I'm excited to showcase ournew curriculum during our summer
(23:37):
learning events.
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Hi, my name is Victoria Holt.

washington, and I am veryexcited to be presenting on
(24:04):
implementing thinking tasks withyour students, as well as team
assessments, where students havechoice and they can choose from
mild, medium or spicy problems.
I'm also looking forward tojust being a learner in the
space and being able to gleaninformation from other
presenters that I can implementwith teachers and students alike

Learning events are uniquebecause this is an opportunity
(24:54):
to engage with teachers who areeither getting ready to join
their CPM journey or may havebeen a few years and are looking
to rejoin their CPM journey.
Oftentimes, I find teachers whocome in on day one they're
apprehensive they don't know you, you don't know them.
Of course, I'm going to be meand I'm going to be greeting
(25:15):
them and giving them energybecause I know what's about to
happen Over the next three dayswatching our teachers shift from
where they start on day one towhere they are day three by
exploring their beliefs,watching lessons being modeled,
pick apart teacher practices,engage in their specific content
.
Teacher practices Engage intheir specific content.
Get to collaborate withteachers in their specific
(25:36):
content area whether it be amath one teacher, a geometry
teacher or whatever the case maybe for their situation and then
walking away with this sense ofcommunity Like we got this.
We can do it.
Oftentimes, I tell our teachers.
Sometimes it's us against them,however you may want to
interpret that.
But stay united, stay connectedwith one another and continue
(25:57):
to do what's best for kids, andso that's always a fun
experience during our summer.
And then our Building On seriesare unique, because think about
the one I have coming up thissummer building on discourse,
going into a familiar regionthat I've been to before, just
reuniting with some familiarfaces and taking their
invitation up a notch andfocusing solely on OK, discourse
(26:18):
.
How do we make it happen in theCPM classroom?
And so definitely lookingforward to that and looking
teachers to dive into their workand, last but not least,
looking forward to theconferences getting out there,
traveling, seeing people whohave never engaged with CPM, or
looking at our friends who haveengaged with CPM and be like,
hey, I teach CPM in my classroomand say, oh, tell me more.
(26:39):
And maybe it's just a friendlyface to say hi, welcome back, or
it's someone who's new outthere just trying to find their
path with teaching and learning.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
So definitely looking forward to our learning events,
looking forward to ourconferences this coming year
through the 7th.
Some of my favorite parts aboutthis three-day event is we
collectively share our currenteffective planning practices.
We really think about how wecan support students in seeing
themselves as math learners andalong the way we refine our
(27:24):
questioning, maybe our use ofinstructional strategies, but of
course we experience some mathlearning together as well.
So if you're around the WestFargo area August 5th through
the 7th, come along for theexperience.
Just reach out to any of yourCPM community contacts and we'll
get you the information youneed.
Thanks everyone.

An outreach of CPM educationalprogram Boom.
An outreach of CPM EducationalProgram.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Boom.
Okay, it's June 10th.
I can't believe it's Junealready.
It may seem really long becausethere was a week after Memorial
Day, but then boom, now it'sJune.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
It always seems like the January comes, like it's the
new year, yes, and then all ofa sudden it's June, like somehow
I always miss.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
February, march.
You miss, like the first sixmonths of the first five months
of the year Interesting.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Yeah Well, it's June 10th.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
And, as always, we're going to talk about what the
National Day is.
So what day is it today?
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Today is National Iced Tea Day.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Iced tea.
I like how you have toenunciate it Iced tea.
Well, I mean, people say allthe time iced tea.
It's not iced tea, it's icedtea, iced tea, all right, so
it's iced tea, iced tea, allright, so it's national iced tea
day it is whoo, hmm, are youiced tea fan?
I do like a good iced tea doyou like them sweet, like sweet
(01:36):
tea, which is different thaniced tea, right not?
Speaker 1 (01:39):
sweet.
I remember traveling in the Iguess, the southeast of the
country.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
There was a question like well, it was kind of
assumed sweet, but you had tosay non-sweet please.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Non-sweet iced tea.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
That's even more tongue twister-y.
Yeah, I'm not sure I'veactually had real quote unquote
sweet tea that you know wouldexist in the south, because if
you just get iced tea and youput a crap ton of sugar in it I
guess it's not the same, which Imake sense, because it's cold
now, it would not absorb as muchsugar as you.
If you make it when it's hotscience, cool it.
Yeah, it's his science.
(02:16):
Yeah, so you like a regulariced tea.
Do you put?
Do you put anything in it?
Do you put sugar or salt orlemon in it?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
well, well, I do like an Arnold Palmer, so it's, with
the lemonade, half and half.
I like the taste of that.
I do brew iced tea in the sunlike a sunbrew.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
You do sun tea.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
And then I like lemon in that as well, like just some
sliced lemon in the jar.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
So your sun tea is like a caffeinated, regular
little black tea or whatever.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Mm-hmm, lipton, it is a Lipton yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Wasn't there some commercial, probably when we
were kids that, like people,would like drink the Lipton and
then they would fall backwardsinto the pool?
Do you?
Speaker 1 (03:04):
remember that Refreshing, I remember, yeah,
like it was just some sort thenthey would fall backwards into
the pool.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Do you remember that, refreshing?
I remember, yeah, like it wassome sort of.
Oh, it was so refreshing theywould just like literally like
plank fall into the pool.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I didn't remember when we were kids.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
we used to try it.
We used to try to do that.
It's hard to keep your legsstraight.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Oh my.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Well and far enough from the fall.
So you don't like, well, yeah,yeah, you have to like fall into
the pool, but anyway, that'snot relevant.
I mean it's kind of relevantbut it's related but not
relevant.
Um, yeah, I, I, I, I likecertain iced teas.
I'm really more of an herbalprobably iced tea person.
Like if you just get iced tea,like a lot of times when we go
to conferences and things likethat, that's what they give us
at lunchtime.
It's iced tea or water, right,and that iced tea just I don't
know, it's a little bitter, Idon't know.
It's just not very exciting tome.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
I'll drink it, but it's whatever, I still like the
that tea for whatever.
Yeah, yeah that's fine.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Um, I do try to make sun tea and I think I often brew
it too long or I need to likefine-tune.
My, I like the idea of it.
I'm always like, oh, it'ssomething refreshing to drink,
that's just in the fridge.
And then I need to find theright flavor because I think
sometimes I'm like this does nottaste very good.
Actually I'm not excited aboutdrinking it.
(04:19):
But yeah, I need to fine-tunemy tea game.
I do drink tea Now.
I switched from coffee to teain the morning.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Okay, hot.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
So I feel like I could should be able to
extrapolate that into some agood iced game.
Yeah, but probably herbal CauseI'm.
I've been on the caffeine allday Well.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
I can understand that .
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Yeah, so.
So what does it suggest that wedo to celebrate national iced
tea?
Speaker 1 (04:48):
I was just looking at that.
It says you could drink it likethe Southerners do, like the.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Southerners.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Take an hour out of your day to steep some sweet tea
.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Wow, yeah, it takes an hour.
Do I have to watch it for theentire hour or do I like make it
?
I mean, it probably didn't giveyou the recipe, well, no recipe
, I have to monitor it for anhour.
Then I'm like what the heck isgoing on with this tea.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Yeah, well, the steeping, I think it's just the
steeping part, yeah, yeah.
And then it says you could siton the front porch on your
rocking chair.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Sip your ICT while you read While it's steeping.
Well after the steep, oh, after, after.
And then you could read cat ona hot tin roof.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
What?
That's very specific, yeah, butif you don't have a porch, or a
rocking chair.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
You can do it inside, in the living room or another
space is what it says so veryspecific and you also, you have
alternates that's right, I dohave a front porch, but I have a
porch swing.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
I don't have a rocking chair on my front porch.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
That's it.
I do have a rocking chair on myporch wow, nice.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Well, there you go.
Is that what you're going to dotoday?
You're going to sit on yourrocking chair and read cat on a
Hot Tin Roof and sip your icedtea.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
I might, instead of reading Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,
because I don't drink sweet tea,so I want to have a different
tea.
You're already makingalterations.
The inventor of tea?
Speaker 2 (06:22):
I don't know the inventor of tea.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
I don't know, tea is invented, which is the mythical
figure Shen Nong.
Yes, who Shen Nong?
Okay, back in 2737 BC 2737?
Speaker 2 (06:40):
That's a very precise , very specific for a mythical
creature.
Well, the Chinese had a lot ofrecord keeping, so I think about
that story.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
I'm just interested in the inventing tea part.
How do you invent tea?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
I thought it was already like well, I mean, you
probably invented the making ofthe plant itself, but like
realized oh, we can dry thisthing and then put hot water on
it or water on it and make itinto something that that still
fascinates me, how peoplefigured out stuff like that that
we take for granted I think teais less fascinating to me than
how people figured out yogurt oryou know, cheese.
Speaker 6 (07:14):
Let's let this stuff rot and then or only rot a
little bit and then eat it yeahit's just, it doesn't sauerkraut
really come on everything aboutthat.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Let's see, it was way easier, like oh, we already eat
plants, maybe if we do someother things.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
But very true.
How are you going to celebratein any way?
Speaker 2 (07:37):
I will probably still have some tea.
I might try, I'm gonna, I'mgonna fine-tune my son tea
recipe.
I need to figure out, like, howmany tea bags you're supposed
to put in, how long to let itsit, so that I actually because
I would like to have some thissummer like a really actually
good source of nice sun tea.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
So that's what pretty big, substantial iced tea bag
and you put it in the coffeemaker and just let hot water run
through, so that your coffeepot then holds hot tea and then
(08:16):
I pour it into the carafe withthe ice and that's a quick iced
tea for anybody who's interested.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
There you go.
Now you've got a method, allright.
Well, enjoy your National IcedTea Day.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Indeed.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
All right.
So today so today we have afollowing this we have a segment
where we asked the some of themembers of the professional
learning team and the curriculumand assessment team to give us
year academic year what they'relooking forward to.
(09:09):
So we thought we would start bytalking about what we're
looking forward to and, as partof this, we need to give an
update on the Eagles, because wetalked about the Eagles a lot
last time.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Well, and we're looking forward to some things.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Yeah, we are looking forward to some things with that
.
So first update.
Speaker 7 (09:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
So Sunny and Gizmo, the two eaglets in the big bear
valley if you didn't listen tothe last podcast, we talked
about the eagles quite a bit.
So sunny fledged on june 2ndand it was pretty cool because I
think you messaged me right inthe middle of, like our big
company wide it was so exciting,it was exciting, it was
(09:49):
exciting, yeah so sunny just,it's like they've been sitting
there like we talked about,they've been flapping and, yes,
then sunny did like a hover onetime like kind of like jumped up
and hovered and then came backto the nest and then yeah yeah,
just sort of like set up thereand flapped a little bit and
then all of a sudden just leaptoff and flew to another tree and
it was pretty exciting.
It was pretty exciting.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Very exciting yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
And and then now, like today, sonny's back on the
nest, which is interesting thatjust came back yesterday ate
some food with Gizmo, and nowit's like hanging out on the
nest again, so which I guess ispretty common right.
They just kind of fly around toother trees and the parents
still are watching them andmaking sure they're okay for a
few weeks, which is it'sprobably like for humans, when
(10:32):
the kids go away somewhere, theytend to come back, at least
with my daughter.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
They would come back a lot in those first few months
and now I don't.
Samantha has fledged.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Samantha's fledged, fully fledged, yeah yeah, that I
thought is interesting too.
I feel like they've beenfeeding them less.
So, it's like, oh well, we'renot going to give you so much
food.
You keep coming back here.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
You need to go get some food, or maybe the parents
go out to eat now and stuff likethat.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Yeah, exactly, oh, we're going to eat our own fish
over here.
We need to bring it to you yeahwe'll bring you the leftover
bits, but yeah, so Gizmo isgetting closer, doing a lot of
wingers and stuff, but Gizmo isnot fledged.
So that's one thing we'relooking forward to is.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Sunny fully fledging going away being on her own and
Gizmo fledging.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
So, definitely, what else are you, you looking
forward to, joel, I guesspersonally I'm looking forward
to?
I'm going to be doing somenational parking this summer and
it's one of your things, it'sone of my things get my junior
ranger badges.
We're going.
I can't even think of all theplaces, but in the lower oregon,
northern california area, soyou're going to go to crater
lake, which is which is the onlynational park in Oregon.
(11:46):
Well, there's some monumentsand stuff like that along the
sites.
Yeah, it's the only nationalpark, that's right, yes, yeah,
and so taking that, I'm reallylooking forward to that trip.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Are you coming up to Portland?
Are you going to be that close?
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Okay, yeah, oh well, I'm not aware I'll be there.
So apparently you were justgoing to drive through and not
tell me Well.
I mean Now, everyone knows.
I don't want to call you outhere, but we've talked about
this like twice.
Oh, it's not on my calendar.
It's not on my calendar.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
So it doesn't exist on my calendar.
I don't have access to yourcalendar, but Well, I can see
your calendar, but I don'tcreate your things.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
All right.
Well, we're putting that on thecalendar after we get off this.
Okay, sounds good.
What else are you lookingforward to?
Any work stuff you're lookingforward to?
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:33):
For work stuff I'm really looking forward to.
So we just I'm working with afew districts that I've just
implemented, so that's alwaysfun for me to get people
onboarded with CPMs and thingslike that, but then also I'm
doing some building on things.
So I'll be working withdistricts and teachers that I've
been working with for a while,and at the end of the year I
(12:54):
don't hear too much from folksand then as the summer hits and
the new year begins, that's whenall the exciting stuff happens,
so I'm looking forward to thatfor sure.
How about you?
What are you looking forward to?
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Well, this summer I'm looking forward to forward to.
There's a couple things thatI'm looking forward to.
This summer.
I had a couple trips planned.
I'm gonna go, we're gonna go upto seattle and see my favorite
band play my favorite album likein its entirety so it's like
the 20th anniversary of deathcap for cuties plans so we're
gonna go up and see that.
I'm really looking forward tothat and then then we got like a
couple of camping trips plannedand stuff that I'm looking
forward to.
It's always good to get out andand be out in the out in the
(13:36):
wilderness.
I agree, cool, um, so that's.
So.
That's really fun.
And then work wise.
I think I'm looking forward toa T-squared I don't remember
what that's.
Terrific team building.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Terrific team building.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
All right, thank you.
So every year a couple of years, I don't remember the frequency
now we have our company-wideevent that we all get together
in person, which is alwaysreally exciting because we all
work remotely, so a lot of timeswe don't see each other very
often.
I mean the PL team.
(14:12):
Fortunately we have theconference't.
We don't see each other veryoften.
I mean the pl team fortunatelywe have the conference, so we
get to see each other there atleast every year.
And then so this, our terrificteam building, our company-wide
event, is at the end ofseptember and I'm looking for,
I'm looking forward to that.
It's kind of nice because it'swe all get together and I'm not
in charge of everything so thatis also like extra, extra fun
extra nice for me.
Yeah, yeah, Extra bonus.
So I'm looking forward to thatand then I'm hoping.
I'm hoping it's.
I unlike a lot of the PLTM, Idon't always have as much as
(14:37):
many as events and supportvisits and things to do, and so
I'm hoping this year there's acouple, and this year I won't be
going to Wyoming, which I'vebeen doing for the last few
years.
That's ended.
They're taking care ofthemselves now, which is great.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
I love that.
That's the whole point, yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Yeah, but I'm hoping that there's a couple of
coaching contracts.
I'm hoping at least one of themwill get picked up and they'll
have some school connectionscoming up for next year.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
It'll be exciting.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Yeah, so I'm looking forward to that and hoping it
arrives.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Awesome.
It's so funny when you talkabout like we're virtual, so
seeing people in person.
I remember one of the veryfirst in-person things when I
saw people.
There was a few people that Iwas like wow, you're a lot
taller than I thoughtno-transcript.
(15:56):
We hope you're looking forwardto stuff as well.
Speaker 8 (15:58):
All right here you go .
Hi, my name is Bree.
I'm a professional learningspecialist at CPM, located in
Woodland, california, and one ofthe things that I'm excited to
do this summer is to just dosome reading.
I'm really excited to dig intoa book called Welcome to
Teaching Multilingual Learners,and I'm particularly excited for
(16:21):
this because I'm doing it as abook study with about five of
their colleagues, and this isone of my favorite ways to read
a book.
I love hearing everyone's ideas.
I love talking through thingstogether, coming up with
solutions with one another, andthis is just a topic that I'm
passionate about.
(16:41):
I love learning about newstrategies to support
multilingual learners and beingmore active and just
knowledgeable members of ourmath classes.
So that's what I'll be doingthis summer and I'm really
excited.
Speaker 6 (16:59):
Hey, it's Jocelyn, the Regional Professional
Learning Coordinator for theNortheast, coming to you from
the great state of Connecticut.
And something I'm lookingforward to in next year is the
Site-Based Leadership Program.
So the SBL program providessupport and resources for
leaders at their site in allstages of their implementation.
(17:19):
So new leaders, experienced CPMusers and leaders in all stages
of their leadership, soteachers who are just taking on
an instructional leadership roleversus really seasoned district
level leaders.
It's an exciting group ofindividuals with a lot of great
questions and experience, andit's just a ton of fun to get
(17:40):
the group together and see whateverybody's up to.
I am super excited because inthe fall we're going to be
launching a book study on CPM'sInstructional Coaching Toolkit,
so you get to engage with someof the authors and have
discussions with colleagues fromall over the country about
coaching and improving classroompractice and really making
(18:03):
positive experiences forstudents.
The program also offers sometimely tips and tricks that will
be coming to your inbox andyour feeds.
So we're excited for some newways to engage and sustain our
leadership and keep the momentumgoing at our schools.
We also have a well-stockedresource library, so things that
(18:25):
you can just take to yourclassroom that you can bring to
your site resources aboutclassroom implementation,
building effective teacher teamsand also building your own
leadership capacity.
So in the SBL program we reallyhave something for everyone,
with all your problems ofpractice and awesome ways to
(18:46):
connect and grow both your teamand yourself.
So we hope that you will joinus for some part of SBL, because
this is what I am reallyexcited about for next year.
Speaker 7 (18:59):
My name is Nicole Gorgas and I am in Victoria,
minnesota, and I'm on theprofessional learning team for
CPM.
I'm looking forward to theAcademy of Best Practices for
New Teachers hosted in San Diegothis year for teachers in their
first five years of teaching.
Teacher burnout is real, so itwill be so great to help these
(19:20):
teachers recharge and prioritizesome key actions for their
upcoming school year, whilehaving lots of fun.
Speaker 10 (19:28):
My name is Ernesto Bautista.
I'm one of the writers at CPM.
One of the things I'm reallylooking forward to is the
release of the Spanishtranslations for Inspiring
Connections materials.
That includes Mathetician'sNotebooks, obviously, the
lessons themselves, the resourcepages, the door questions, even
some of the questions teacherscan ask to help students move
(19:50):
forward in their thinking.
Teachers can ask to helpstudents move forward in their
thinking.
What excites me the most isknowing that more students will
have access to these materials.
These materials inspirereflection and critical thinking
and connection and they reallymake me wonder as I've been
(20:13):
reviewing them.
They make me think about mysixth grade self and my seventh
grade self and as someone thatwould have needed translated
materials, how would I haveresponded to some of these
reflection questions Then?
Who would I be and where wouldI be in my math journey had I
had these types of high qualityinstructional materials back in
(20:35):
that day?
And it just it's very excitingto think about.
Another thing that makes mereally excited is to think about
the teachers and how theteachers are going to be able to
make those connections withstudents.
Sometimes the language barrierstend to negatively impact the
way that you can connect withstudents, but having even just
quick answers with preferences,like in some of the questions
(21:02):
that can invite a certain levelof connection with students, and
that's super exciting to thinkabout how teachers will use this
and those thinking questions.
Sometimes students are stuck intheir thinking and they don't
know how to move forward andjust a simple question about
well, what about this?
Or just saying something, willhelp them move those along.
(21:25):
And again, that languagebarrier tends to get in the way.
So I'm hoping this will empowerteachers to help those students
move on, because we all wantstudents to succeed, but
sometimes the hard part is howdo I do that?
So it's super exciting and I amlooking forward to seeing how
that goes.
Speaker 5 (21:45):
Hi, this is Kathy Williams.
I'm a member of theProfessional Learning Team and
I'm from Louisville, kentucky.
I'm really excited about ournew Core Connections third
edition curriculum that iscoming out this summer.
You'll notice that it's got anew look and there's some new
features in it, withcontemporary updates, and these
are all based on the latestresearch about how students
(22:07):
learn using a student-centered,problem-based curriculum.
So some of these new featuresinclude the lesson focus.
This includes the languageobjective, the standards for
mathematical practice and themajor conceptual ideas.
The lesson at a glance sharesthe learning intent for the
lesson, materials and materialspreparation needed, an overview,
(22:32):
the lesson sequence and pacing,and this includes a door
question.
These door questions are agreat way to get to know your
students and to build communityin your classroom.
It has embedded supports andidentifies the math standard for
the lesson.
These lessons do follow thetraditional sequence of Launch,
(22:52):
explore and Closure.
However, we've introduced somenew launch formats, which
include Math Chats, data Talks,dot Talks which One is Unique,
notice and Wonders differentways to engage students at the
beginning of class.
The Explore format hasopportunities for virtual
interactive activities to helpstudents to build conceptual
(23:15):
understanding, and I do want tonote that many integral parts of
Core Connections 2nd Editionstill remain.
You'll find the learning logs,toolkits, the mixed-based
practice in the review andpreview problems, the puzzle
investigator problems, theparent guide and those lesson
math casts.
So I'm excited to showcase ournew curriculum during our summer
(23:37):
learning events.
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Hi, my name is Victoria Holt.
I am a classroom teacherspecialist with CPM and I'm from
Columbus, ohio.
One thing that I am lookingforward to this summer is being
able to attend the BuildingThinking Classrooms Conference.
This year it is being held atthe end of June in Renton,
washington, and I am veryexcited to be presenting on
(24:04):
implementing thinking tasks withyour students, as well as team
assessments, where students havechoice and they can choose from
mild, medium or spicy problems.
I'm also looking forward tojust being a learner in the
space and being able to gleaninformation from other
presenters that I can implementwith teachers and students alike
(24:28):
.
Yeah, so I'm very excited forthose things.
Speaker 9 (24:32):
Hello, my name is Marcus Blakeney and I'm a
professional learning specialistwith CPM in our professional
learning department, and Icurrently live in Louisville,
kentucky.
Something that I'm lookingforward to this summer are our
three day learning events, ourfoundations for implementation.
Learning events are uniquebecause this is an opportunity
(24:54):
to engage with teachers who areeither getting ready to join
their CPM journey or may havebeen a few years and are looking
to rejoin their CPM journey.
Oftentimes, I find teachers whocome in on day one they're
apprehensive they don't know you, you don't know them.
Of course, I'm going to be meand I'm going to be greeting
(25:15):
them and giving them energybecause I know what's about to
happen Over the next three dayswatching our teachers shift from
where they start on day one towhere they are day three by
exploring their beliefs,watching lessons being modeled,
pick apart teacher practices,engage in their specific content
.
Teacher practices Engage intheir specific content.
Get to collaborate withteachers in their specific
(25:36):
content area whether it be amath one teacher, a geometry
teacher or whatever the case maybe for their situation and then
walking away with this sense ofcommunity Like we got this.
We can do it.
Oftentimes, I tell our teachers.
Sometimes it's us against them,however you may want to
interpret that.
But stay united, stay connectedwith one another and continue
(25:57):
to do what's best for kids, andso that's always a fun
experience during our summer.
And then our Building On seriesare unique, because think about
the one I have coming up thissummer building on discourse,
going into a familiar regionthat I've been to before, just
reuniting with some familiarfaces and taking their
invitation up a notch andfocusing solely on OK, discourse
(26:18):
.
How do we make it happen in theCPM classroom?
And so definitely lookingforward to that and looking
teachers to dive into their workand, last but not least,
looking forward to theconferences getting out there,
traveling, seeing people whohave never engaged with CPM, or
looking at our friends who haveengaged with CPM and be like,
hey, I teach CPM in my classroomand say, oh, tell me more.
(26:39):
And maybe it's just a friendlyface to say hi, welcome back, or
it's someone who's new outthere just trying to find their
path with teaching and learning.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
So definitely looking forward to our learning events,
looking forward to ourconferences this coming year
through the 7th.
Some of my favorite parts aboutthis three-day event is we
collectively share our currenteffective planning practices.
We really think about how wecan support students in seeing
themselves as math learners andalong the way we refine our
(27:24):
questioning, maybe our use ofinstructional strategies, but of
course we experience some mathlearning together as well.
So if you're around the WestFargo area August 5th through
the 7th, come along for theexperience.
Just reach out to any of yourCPM community contacts and we'll
get you the information youneed.
Thanks everyone.
