1)  Here is a link to "RREV" - a grant program that will provide Maine educators and school/district leaders with courses, training, and professional development in innovative design processes, education engineering, and other innovative thinking approaches - and, THEN, will provide them with funding to develop, beta test, and collect data on a variety of innovative methods and educational programs. We were one of 11 states to be awarded funds ($17 million) through a highly competitive federal grant that will support this effort. Our goal is to place Maine at the very forefront of education innovation, and the products developed will be shared nationally.
