Welcome to the Maine Educators’ Consortium, Maine's newest alternative to high priced traditional college courses! We provide affordable, college accredited, graduate level courses to educators throughout the state of Maine. Our courses are specially designed to address Re-Certification requirements, Salary Advancement opportunities, and Professional Development needs.

Unlike traditional college courses, our courses are educator-friendly, addressing topics relevant to teachers, administrators, and paraprofessionals. Course work is “applied," allowing credit to be given for lesson planning, designing class units and/or school projects, case studies, as well as for implementing course material. One of our many strengths is the flexibility to provide on-site courses tailored to fit a district’s needs.Understanding the ever increasing demands placed upon an educator's time and energy, our courses run approximately six-eight weeks and combine the benefits of face-to-face classes with the convenience of on-line, distance learning. Please feel free to contact us for further information. We look forward to "Meeting the Needs of Maine's Educators".

*Fitchburg State College, accredited by New England Association of Schools and Colleges since 1953, will be providing course credits. Unless otherwise stated, each course will be assigned 3 Graduate level credits.
**Courses may be also be taken for CEU’S only; please contact us for more information.
