CDLN

Maine Department of Education Cross Discipline Literacy Network (CDLN)

The CDLN is a professional learning network for K-12 educators that provides professional development related to literacy instruction across content areas through both webinar technology and face-to-face networking sessions. You can obtain all of the details about 2013-14 CDLN at: http://www.maine.gov/doe/literacy-for-me/cdln.html. You will also find the archived 2012-13 webinars on the site. This year’s CDLN has been slightly modified to include Dine and Discuss sessions for the face-to-face component, as well as 8 different webinar strands. We strongly encourage you to check out this low-cost, high-quality opportunity. It is a great way to learn from and with other Maine educators across content areas and grade levels. The cost is just $30 per year, and the registration deadline is October 15.

We have three music and art educators collaborating to facilitate sessions this year:

Waterville Senior High School Visual Arts teacher, Suzanne Goulet will be working on a Dine and Discuss, face to face session. Lisbon High School Visual Arts teacher, Pam Ouellette, Songo Locks Elementary School K-5 Music teacher, Linda McVety, and Winthrop Middle School Visual Arts teacher Lisa Gilman will be facilitating three separate topics of online webinars (2 each).

Thank you to these Visual and Performing Arts teachers for stepping up and taking on leadership to collaborate and provide opportunities for Maine educators.
