Connected Learning Ecosystem

Aroostook County

Established in 2021

5 informal educators

7 classroom teachers

In the Crown of Maine, the Aroostook County CLE join forces to support each other and by extension our students. We are a small, but mighty group who gather to share ideas and resources virtually and in-person. Teaching in rural, northern Maine is a unique and rewarding experience that we all share.
