Maine DOE Updates – Jan. 23, 2012
It’s a new year, with all sorts of new developments in the world of Maine education.
Here at the Maine DOE, we had a busy week last week with the release of “Education Evolving: Maine’s Plan for Putting Learners First.” We released the strategic plan at the Capital Area Technical Center in Augusta, where Commissioner Bowen was joined by five students who discussed the enriching experiences they’ve had in school as a result of being able to take control of their learning.
