A View From the Inside: Continuing the Conversation About Teaching in Maine
The Maine Education Leadership Consortium (MELC) has worked for ten years to understand more fully the factors that influence teachers to remain in education. In 1993, the Consortium convened a select seminar of 32 outstanding new teachers to learn about their experiences in their first two years of teaching. Charlotte Herbold wrote a report entitled “A View from the Inside: New Teachers on Teaching in Maine.” In 1997, the Consortium held another seminar involving 34 additional outstanding new teachers and produced a similar report. "A View From the Inside: Continuing the Conversation About Teaching in Maine" is the latest report, dating from 2004.
