MAINE ARTS EDUCATION BLOG
As the Maine Arts Commission follows changes in education (i.e. ESSA,
proficiency based graduation requirements) the information will continue to
be available on the Maine Arts Education blog at https://
meartsed.wordpress.com/. The blog has educator and student stories,
resources, links to articles and much more. When you have an upcoming
performance or a story to tell about a lesson, unit, accomplishment or
something that you’d like to share with others please email me. A weekly
email will continue during the school year from the arts education list-serv. If
you have a new email address or have a new colleague who is not on the
list-serv I’d be glad to add them.
As you jump into a new school year I wish you the very best! Please don’t
hesitate to email me at [email protected] if you have questions or
would like to invite me to your school/district. I am grateful for the work you
do every day providing an excellent arts education. Thank you!
