The update, delivered by Edwards and guest presenter Jen Maloney, the district’s math differentiation specialist, detailed classroom rollout schedules, results from a midyear student and parent survey of CPM classrooms, and examples of released Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment (MCA) questions that illustrate the level of rigor students may encounter on state tests.
The presentation traced the adoption timeline: a K–5 curriculum adopted and implemented beginning in the 2023 spring adoption and now in year two of implementation at the elementary level, and CPM (College Preparatory Mathematics) piloted and in year one at the middle school level. Edwards said the district intentionally started implementation at elementary grades and then expanded to middle school to create a K–12 vision for math instruction.
Maloney led the board through sample MCA items and proficiency‑level descriptors, explaining how released test items map to the state…
