The workshops are presented by the Maine Arts Assessment Initiative (MAAI) teacher leaders (phase 1 and 2) and the Maine Learning Technology Initiative (MLTI) technology integrators. At least one workshop included at each location will have an integrated co-facilitated session that connects at least one arts discipline and technology.

There is NO cost for these workshops and contact hours are being provided. The FREE workshops are open to elementary, middle, high school, and higher ed educators.

Workshops include creativity, standards, assessment, literacy and much more! Details for each site are posted at this link. You will need to bring a computer that has the most recent MLTI image. If you do not have one please indicate it when registering and one will be provided for your use.

These workshops are in response to the feedback from arts educators requesting more professional development opportunities.
