PURPOSE
The Maine Arts Education Partners in Leadership (MAEPL) is committed to developing and promoting high quality arts education for all. MAEPL operates on the premise of “teachers teaching teachers.” All of our design teams, institutes, and professional development opportunities offer/encourage collaboration.
‘This We Believe’ Statements outline our foundational beliefs and practices.
COMMUNITY
- Teacher Leaders: Maine Visual or Performing Arts Educators with a professional teaching certificate who teach an Arts discipline in a public or private school.
- Teaching Artist Leaders: Professional Teaching Artists in Maine with demonstrated experience collaborating within educational or civic environments to design and lead student-centered, values-driven residencies drawn from mastery of their artistic discipline.
TRAININGS, COLLABORATION, & WORK
MAEPL is built on an institute model, by application. There is a Summer Institute for Teacher Leaders and Teaching Artist Leaders. Returning community members are encouraged to participate.
At the Summer Institute new Teacher Leaders and Teaching Artist Leaders will learn foundational practices in instructional design and leadership skills. Participants will take part in a variety of workshops focused on emerging needs in Arts Education professional development.
Collaboration, networking, and the sharing of resources are an expectation as a member of the MAEPL community. During the Institute participants will develop an individualized growth plan that will be shared with others for feedback and suggestions.
Throughout the school year, participants will continue to share how their individualized growth plan is developed and implemented, and they will have the opportunity to share at a Critical Friends Day, and with a thought partner. At the Winter Retreat participants review and reflect on the work done, and allow for time to get feedback to plan for the next Summer Institute.

June 13, 2022Join your colleagues and make art
The Maine Art Education Association (MAEA) is holding a summer retreat that brings art educators together to make art. The retreat will be held at Pilgrim Lodge on Lake Cobbosseecontee in West Gardiner, July 6 – 9. The cost is $300 which includes room and board and access to the facility.
You’re invited to bring a project you’re working on or start a new one. Pilgrim Lodge is an inspiring camp facility. There are 13 cabins connected by a boardwalk, 100 acres of forest, and a beautiful waterfront with swimming and paddling for all. Every cabin is equipped with a screened porch, bathroom, and shower.
The Main Lodge has lots of room to spread out with all of your art supplies or you can set up on the boardwalk or walk the trails and labyrinth for inspiration. If you want to bring a friend or family member to enjoy the beauty feel free! This is MAEA sponsored but it is not necessary to be a member or even an artist to attend.
