The Maine Department of Education will be supporting a cohort of public primary grade (K-2) teachers for the 2018-19 school year in using an online Formative Assessment Platform. This tool utilizes observation and documentation of student work during ongoing instruction. Teachers selected to participate will:
- Be required to attend one 2-day training on August 1 and August 2, 2018, held in Augusta.
- Receive iPad minis to collect and document child observations for the online platform.
- Receive a one-time $300 training stipend.
Those interested in participating should complete and submit this application no later than end of business on Friday, June 15, 2018.
Due to the limited number of student portfolios that can be supported, this opportunity is available on a first come, first served basis – per the date and time on the submitted application. Once the cohort has been set, a Memoranda of Understanding will be sent to each participating teacher for signature. Notification via email will be sent to those teachers who were not selected.
