MAINE (WABI) - The Maine Department of Education is making new plans to teach essential skills for Maine students that will strengthen back-to-basics reading and math skills.

At the direction of the Governor, the Maine DOE has launched the Maine State Reading and Math Action Plans.

The hope is these initiatives will bring evidence-based instruction, educator training, and academic partnerships into classrooms and improve student skills in core academic areas.

This effort builds upon a $10 million investment by the Maine DOE in 2024.

As part of the action plans, the department will establish reading and math advisory councils to oversee statewide implementation of the plans, review feedback from the field, monitor statewide progress, and recommend changes.
