The Green Schools Peer Learning Workshops, hosted by the Maine Department of Education, will take place on the second Tuesday of each month for eight months from 3:00pm-4:00pm, starting on October 13th. Please use this form to view the workshop topics and register.  

The Green Schools Peer Learning Workshops are an eight-part virtual series designed to help participants build long-term structures to advance sustainability in their school districts. Workshops will feature a short presentation with accessible tools, real case studies, and tailored support from facilitators, including time for participants to workshop their own sustainability initiatives. Sessions are designed to foster peer learning and build a supportive network of teachers, students, and administrators working to promote sustainability in their school buildings and practices. 

Meetings will be facilitated by Ruth Poland and Micah Depper, two Maine teachers with experience shepherding school and district-level sustainability initiatives. The topics are sequential, but all are welcome to attend any session they are available. 

Thank you so much for your continued support of green initiatives in Maine schools! If you have any questions about these programs or the Maine Green Schools Network, please email naomi.lopez@maine.gov.
