Project M.A.I.N.E. (Maine Arts Integration Network of Excellence) is a FREE year-long professional development series in Arts Integration for Maine educators and teaching artists throughout the state.
Side x Side is thrilled to announce that we are the recipient of Congressionally-Directed Spending through the office of Senator Angus King and the US Department of Education for $242K to fully fund Project M.A.I.N.E. This professional development series will incorporate community collaborations with organizations across the state. It will provide participants with an arts integration framework which includes community connections, teaching tools, classroom resources, and arts-based assessment strategies that support teachers to experiment with this work in their own classrooms.
