The Maine Department of Education (DOE) is currently seeking educators to develop interdisciplinary MOOSE Modules that will align with and provide real-world context for Maine Learning Results standards and existing Maine DOE resources.
Maine’s Online Open-Source Education (MOOSE) platform provides free, interdisciplinary, project-based learning materials created by Maine teachers for Maine pre-K through grade 12 students. The Maine DOE is constantly expanding MOOSE content to meet educator needs and provide resources that highlight ongoing and emerging initiatives of the Maine DOE.
The Maine DOE is seeking a variety of Maine educators (e.g., teachers, curriculum leaders, museum educators, librarians, etc.) to develop educational material for the MOOSE platform. Applicants must be available for weekly meetings and able to dedicate 3-6 hours outside of those meetings to creating materials. Interdisciplinary cohorts will be formed for educators around topics that span across the preK-12 spectrum. Within cohorts, smaller teams will create modules between September 15 and January 23 under the guidance of the MOOSE Specialists.
If you are interested in applying but still have questions, please contact Maine DOE MOOSE Project Supervisor Jennifer Page (jennifer.page@maine.gov). The MOOSE Team will hold a recorded information session on Monday, August 25, at 4 p.m. The recording will be directly mailed to all registrants and will be posted on the Maine DOE website. Registration can be found here.
Applications can be found here and are due by Monday, September 1. Applicants will be notified of their acceptance for the program by Wednesday, September 3, and will attend their first meeting on Monday, September 15. Compensation for a fully developed, approved, and published module by January 23, 2026, is $3,000, with no partial or late payments available.
For further questions and information, please contact Maine DOE MOOSE Project Supervisor Jennifer Page at jennifer.page@maine.gov.
