The Maine DOE is seeking educators to help enhance MOOSE (Maine Online Open-Source Education) modules—free, project-based learning resources for preK–12 classrooms. Participants can earn up to $3,000 while supporting accessible, high-quality instruction statewide. Maine DOE is currently accepting applications for funding from SAUs whose school boards have designated an existing school or established a new school as a community school. Community School grant funds can help schools expand structures that build stronger partnerships and wrap-around services that meet the whole student’s needs. There is an information session on January 20 at 3 p.m. Maine schools & SAUs are invited to host an AmeriCorps member for the 2026-2027 program year through Goodwill Industries of Northern New England — helping strengthen community supports and build capacity in your school! Huge congratulations to the 2025 Maine Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance Award Winners! @maineahperd The Can We? Project continues to empower young people across Maine and New Hampshire with the skills to listen, engage respectfully, and lead through dialogue. From ongoing school-based work to regional gatherings like Can We? Connect, students are building stronger communities and learning how to navigate differences together. At Jordan-Small Middle School in RSU 14, Students are taking science out of the classroom and into nature with a new outdoor education pilot that’s sparking curiosity, teamwork, and hands-on learning. What an amazing year for youth in Maine agriculture! From statewide events to leadership opportunities and unforgettable experiences, Maine FFA helped make the Year of Youth in Agriculture one to remember. Grants are now available to support after-school and summer learning programs for the 2026–2027 school year through the 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) program. These funds help expand high-quality academic enrichment and support services for students during non-school hours. Applications are due April 7, 2026. The Maine DOE is now recruiting educators for a High-Quality Instructional Material Capacity-Building Cohort — a great chance to deepen your expertise and help lead for stronger, standards-aligned learning statewide.
