22 classroom teachers

6 informal educators

The Western Maine CLE brings formal and informal educators together to provide the support of colleagues in a rural area. We work together to encourage and inspire each other, bringing authentic science to our students.  

Like most of the teachers in our group who work in a rural area, I am the only teacher in my school who teaches my subject. I don't have someone at my school to bounce ideas off of. The Western Maine CLE has given me a community who I can connect with to share ideas. I am really excited that we are expanding our group and pulling in more informal educators!”
