A story that aired on News Center Maine<\/a>\u00a0this week showcased efforts by the University of Maine College of Education and Human Development to help rural school districts recruit, educate and retain STEM teachers thanks to a nearly $100,000 grant the college recently received from the National Science Foundation. \u201cAs a state, we won’t thrive unless our rural communities are thriving,” said\u00a0Catharine Biddle, associate professor of educational leadership and director of the School of Educational Leadership, Higher Education and Human Development in the college, who serves as co-principal investigator on the NSF grant. “Paying attention to those needs and ensuring we are supporting them is a really important part of what we can do to see Maine be the best state it can be.\u201d\u00a0Ben\u00a0Greenlaw, superintendent of Maine School Administrative District 1 in Aroostook County and a doctoral student in educational leadership at 91르적, added that staffing is always a concern for rural districts. \u201cWe have a large number of people nearing retirement. We don\u2019t get a lot of applicants for positions,\u201d Greenlaw said. \u201cI worry about it. It keeps me up at night.\u201d Interim Dean\u00a0Zeke Kimball\u00a0added that teachers are crucial to the state\u2019s future. \u201cMaine\u2019s rural communities are critical to Maine\u2019s future economy,\u201d he said.
