Extractions: Maine - Return to the "What's Happening in the States?" Page - Updated on March 14, 1998 Maine In an act passed in July a state Beginning Teacher Induction Program (BTIP) was provided to support other state legislation on changes in teacher certification. Beginning Teacher's receive a two year provisional certificate and must participate in the local district's Beginning Teacher Induction Program Induction Program. The BTIP provides new teacher support through a "support team" which works with the new teacher to develop a Teacher Action Plan and to provide professional development to support the implementation of the plan. At the end of the two year probationary time, this team must also evaluate the new teacher to decide whether to recommend the teacher for upgrading to the "Professional Certificate". How the beginning teacher as actually evaluated is not defined by the state, but rather is a decision of each district. In the BTIP was still in operation but requirements had been relaxed concerning the mandated use of a support team. Now use of an individual mentor teacher alone was deemed sufficient and was allowed as an option for local districts to consider. If you are aware of incorrect statements in this material OR if you can add authoritative new information concerning mentoring and induction in the various United States, please contact Barry Sweeny with that information.

I should mention at the outset that I also am the Director of the Maine State Approving Agency for Veterans Education Programs and the Northern New England Troops to Teachers program and am very proud to be associated with the program that you will be receiving testimony on today. It is my understanding that todays hearing is to determine the short-term and long-term successes of the Troops to Teachers program and the challenges facing it as we proceed into the future. My testimony will be from the perspective of someone who has worked in the field of education and for veterans for nearly thirty years and who has been officially associated with the Troops to Teachers program since the year 2000. As requested, I will focus my comments on the relationship of the Troops to Teachers program to the priorities and work of State Approving Agencies, what the program means to Northern New England, and the issues that inhibit maximum program success. Additionally, I will offer a couple of recommendations for legislative change that we believe can be very beneficial to helping the program be more successful.
