The Manufacturers Association of Maine and the Teach Maine Center are proud to celebrate the inaugural BUILD cohort.

BUILD, Bringing Understanding of Industry to Learning and Discovery, brought 17 educators from 14 school districts across 7 Maine counties together for a two-day professional development experience visiting manufacturing facilities in Auburn and Lewiston.

We know that when teachers see firsthand what modern manufacturing looks like, they bring that knowledge back to their students in meaningful ways. BUILD was created to make that possible, connecting educators with industry professionals and the careers available right here in Maine.

A sincere thank you to the businesses that opened their doors and made this experience possible: Auburn Manufacturing, Elmet, PackGen, and M.S. Ambrogio.

Strong partnerships between businesses and educators are what build strong communities, and BUILD is proud to be part of that work in Maine.

The June Teach Maine Center Professional Development Calendar is here!

June is one of the busiest times of year for educators, and this month's PD offerings reflect that reality.

June Spotlight: Maine Department of Education Office Hours

Before heading into summer, consider reflecting on how restorative practices and Wabanaki Studies have shaped your classroom culture this year. The Maine Department of Education is offering a supportive space to do just that.

Two ways to participate:
- Weekly Office Hours: focused on restorative practices in your classroom
- Monthly Office Hours: focused on Wabanaki Studies

We hope you will carve out a little time this month to connect and reflect.
