Technical Assistance

The purpose of providing technical assistance is to support school administrative units (SAUs) and schools with areas of challenge while also highlighting and sharing areas of excellence. Through collaborative partnerships, the Department and SAUs will work together to improve the opportunity for students to demonstrate what they know and can do.  As a part of the technical assistance process, SAUs will continue to observe assessment administration conducted in schools through the utilization of an online observation tool provided by Maine DOE. SAUs will continue to follow the guidelines and requirements for assessment security and administration of the state assessments. 

On March 27, 2024, the US Department of Education (US ED) contacted the Maine DOE with important information about participation in state-required assessments. To view the communication, click here: Maine 2024 School Assessment Participation Rate Letter.
