Educators bring essential expertise to policy conversations, but the legislative and rulemaking process can feel difficult to navigate. This professional learning session demystifies how education policy is shaped in Maine, from legislation and rulemaking to the decisions that ultimately impact classrooms.
Participants will explore how to use their expertise, experience, and voice to advocate effectively for students, schools, and the teaching profession.
