From Nicole.Madore at maine.gov Mon Jul 6 15:39:18 2026 From: Nicole.Madore at maine.gov (Madore, Nicole) Date: Mon, 6 Jul 2026 19:39:18 +0000 Subject: [ELmaine] Mid-August Summer Professional Development Workshops...Nature Immersive! In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Good afternoon! I am pleased to share some upcoming opportunities with you! At the following links, please find information related to nature-immersive, wellbeing and connection-focused Educator Renewal Retreat at MDOE (July 17 & 18 in Hope, ME). The hosts are almost at capacity both days, but would love to ensure all spots are fill, and build a waiting list in the event that some people may have last minute conflicts. It is offered at no cost to educators, and they are also offering a $50 stipend. Educators can attend one or both days! Also, there are these five single-day professional development workshops. They will take place with co-facilitators in alliance with Anne Stires Educational Consulting at the beautiful Friends School in Falmouth, August 11th through the 15th. They are nature-connected and so much fun-teachers will receive seven contact hours for attendance! Interested educators and administrators can find more information and the registration link HERE or reach out directly to Anne at: anne at annestires.com. ________________________________________ Nicole Madore Early Childhood Specialist - Early Learning Team Office of Teaching and Learning Maine Department of Education 23 State House Station Augusta, Maine 04333-0023 Email: nicole.madore at maine.gov Phone: 207-446-3967 (cell) Maine DOE | Facebook | Instagram | Maine DOE Newsroom [cid:image001.jpg at 01DD0D5B.97CD6BB0] [cid:image002.png at 01DD0D5B.97CD6BB0] [cid:image003.png at 01DD0D5B.97CD6BB0] -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
