<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The Maine Department of Education (DOE) and teacher leaders from across the state are teaming up to offer monthly professional learning communities (PLCs) for educators implementing <a href="https://www.maine.gov/doe/learning/earlychildhood/PreK4ME"><b>Pre-K
for ME</b></a>, <a href="https://www.maine.gov/doe/learning/earlychildhood/K4ME"><b>K for ME</b></a>, and <a href="https://www.maine.gov/doe/learning/earlychildhood/1stgradeforme"><b>1st Grade for ME</b></a> in their classrooms. These PLCs are provided to
promote understanding of program design and to support successful program implementation. Program components will be explored in greater depth, and teachers will be encouraged to share practice and student work examples. Teachers, ed techs, instructional
coaches, and any other staff implementing the programs are strongly encouraged to attend, whether you are new to using the programs or have been using them for a while. Find out more and register here:
