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. Students and educators at Princeton Elementary School showcased incredible hands-on STEAM learning during a recent Maine DOE Learning Tour—from robotics and coding to creative, real-world problem solving. The innovation, engagement, and excitement on display were inspiring! 👏 Know an exceptional early childhood educator? Nominations are now open for the 2026 Outstanding Early Childhood Professionals Spotlight! Celebrate the incredible work of those who nurture and support children from birth to age 8 — whether they teach in schools, childcare programs, or home-visiting settings. Thank you, Becky Hallowell: 2025 Maine Teacher of the Year, for your incredible service, leadership, and dedication to Maine’s students and educators. From your innovative, place-based classroom practices to your thoughtful advocacy about what truly matters in education—you inspire us all. We are thrilled to share that Julie Berube, Coordinator of the First Teachers Family Literacy Program at Biddeford Adult Education, has been honored with a $10,000 national grant from the newly launched Barbara Bush Fund for Family Literacy! Her program was chosen as one of only three in the entire country to receive this prestigious award — what an incredible achievement! Maine DOE is launching Year Two of Pine Tree Programming! This expanding statewide initiative gives students in grades 3–8 fun, hands-on coding experiences using micro:bits—building confidence and computer science skills across Maine classrooms. No experience needed!
