Maine Loves Public Schools (MLPS), a collaborative initiative led by the Maine School Boards Association, Maine School Superintendents Association, and other educational organizations, recently premiered "Learning from Maine," a documentary video series on Maine Public Television.
The series highlights innovative education practices across the state, featuring stories from Limestone, Farmington, Portland, and Bethel. Episodes explore educational approaches, including a reimagined ninth-grade experience in Bethel where students learn in the woods for an entire year, and an apprenticeship model in Farmington connecting students with real-world career experiences.
Hosted by former Maine principal Derek Pierce, the 10-15 minute segments showcase promising practices that strengthen Maine's public schools and communities. Maine Public Television has partnered with MLPS to produce eight additional episodes for broadcast in 2026.
