The Interdisciplinary Instruction team has developed the open-source resources below to support educators' professional learning and growth. Each link below has self-paced asynchronous professional learning modules with a mix of video and text resources, opportunities for application and reflection, and contact hours.
So pick a topic to learn more about and let your professional growth begin!
Although some of these modules are associated with specific programs, all educators can access the professional learning and contact hours. Inquiries about contact hours can be e-mailed to Kathy Bertini at kathy.bertini@maine.gov
