Eight exceptional educators from across the state are semifinalists for 2027 Maine Teacher of the Year. On Thursday, July 23, 2026, the Maine Department of Education (DOE) and Educate Maine officially announced these semifinalists, who will deliver keynote speeches, submit professional portfolios, and participate in an expert panel discussion about educational equity, teacher leadership, and education policy as part of the next phase of the Maine State Teacher of the Year selection process. Bangor School Department's Downeast School is showing what's possible when positive school culture and inclusive practices work hand in hand. Through its implementation of Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) and participation as a Maine DOE Inclusive Education Model Pilot School, the school has created a learning environment where students thrive together. Technology in schools is a hot topic—but how do we move beyond the headlines? For more than three decades, the Belfast Community Outreach Program in Education (BCOPE), part of RSU 71, serving Belfast, Belmont, Morrill, Searsmont, and Swanville, has helped students reconnect with learning through strong relationships, flexibility, and community-based support. Don't miss "Your Brain, Your Life – Foundations of Thinking and Learning" at the Maine DOE Annual Summit! This engaging, interactive session explores how the brain makes sense of the world, why stories shape perception, the important role errors play in learning, and practical strategies educators can use to foster deeper thinking and active learning in the classroom. Seventeen middle school students from five Maine schools recently competed in the inaugural Maine State Finals of the National Civics Bee (hosted by the Mid-Maine Chamber of Commerce), showcasing their civic knowledge, leadership, and creative solutions to real-world community challenges. From essays addressing local issues to live competition, these students demonstrated the power of civic engagement and thoughtful problem-solving. Join us at the 2026 Maine DOE Annual Summit for the "What's Changing in EPS School Funding – and Why It Matters" session to learn about upcoming changes to Maine's Essential Programs and Services (EPS) school funding model. There's still time to join us at the 2026 Maine DOE Annual Summit on July 29 at Thomas College! School transportation professionals from across Maine are gathered this week at the Augusta Civic Center for the 53rd Annual Maine Association for Pupil Transportation (MAPT) School Transportation Safety Conference & Trade Show.
