Maine Literacy Partnership

Maine Literacy Partnership is a professional development model focusing on literacy education in grades K – 6. Each affiliated school has a full-time literacy coach who supports teachers as they continue to refine their literacy teaching. The support takes the form of on-site graduate-level courses, continued professional development sessions, one-on-one coaching with teachers, and demonstration lessons. Maine Literacy Partnership schools enjoy a consolidated effort toward school improvement through a collaborative and ongoing relationship with the Literacy Area Programs and the University of Maine College of Education and Human Development.
