=The Schools We Need Project Advisory Board=

Schools We Need Project
The Schools We Need Project explores how schools can meet the need of all students. SWN is a partnership between ResulTech, Inc., a company that works with jurisdictions to create innovative schools designed to motivate students, and the Maine Center for Meaningful Engaged Learning (McMEL), a center at UMF.

Purpose of the SWN Advisory Board
Part of the arrangement of McMEL's working with ResulTech is that Mike can bring what is learned from the Schools We Need Project back to UMF to see how it might impact our programs. The job of the SWN Advisory Board is to work with Mike on what those possibilities might look like (and then work to implement some of them!). The possibilities can be small (like field experiences at the Academy School for UMF students and staff) or large (like a distance learning Masters Program focusing on the skills teachers need to implement a school model similar to ours).
