Maine DOE Recruiting Educators for Statewide Professional Learning Series to Support Multilingual Learners - Maine DOE Newsroom<https://mainedoenews.net/2025/11/21/maine-doe-recruiting-educators-for-statewide-professional-learning-series-to-strengthen-instruction-for-multilingual-learners/>
The Maine Department of Education (DOE) is recruiting 120 certified educators to participate in a statewide professional learning series that serves as a key component of Maine's coordinated Literacy and Numeracy Action Plans. These plans emphasize evidence-based instruction, multitiered systems of support (MTSS), aligned supports, and equitable access for all learners.
Participants will earn 20 contact hours and work in an elementary or secondary cohort for the duration of the professional learning.

This professional learning series is offered in partnership with SupportEd, a nationally recognized leader in multilingual learner instructional design and educator development. SupportEd experts will deepen WIDA ELD Standards integration, strengthen scaffolding practices, and refine classroom tasks and assessments.

By expanding educator expertise in language-integrated instructional practices, this project aims to strengthen statewide capacity and close persistent achievement gaps for multilingual learners (MLs) across Maine's schools.
