PHASE Q4: MOOSE MODULE BUILDING IN FULL SWING
Spring 2021
Martel Learning Group is working for the fourth time, with the Maine DOE & educators from around the state to provide anytime, anywhere learning options and resources. In conjunction with curriculum coordinators, Maine educational community organizations, museums, learning centers, and Maine educators, is creating a library of asynchronous learning modules that are aligned to Maine’s Learning Results.
Integrated across subject areas and project-based, these asynchronous modules ensure that learning is active, engaging, and continuous. Modules could be utilized for enhancing lessons, remediation, enrichment, credit recovery, or for use during remote learning – whenever a student cannot access classroom instruction. Each module is designed around the essential question, “How do I Interact with and Impact My World?” Modules are organized by grade level in grades pk-5 and by grade span for grades 6-8 and 9-12.

YOUR LIFE, YOUR LEARNING, YOUR WAY!
Experiential Learning, ELO, or what ever you call learning on your own, it is key to success in our time. Becoming a lifelong learner can make you 'A.I Proof' (Joseph E. Aoun, 2017). That means learning through all that we do. If you are travelling, on the job, in the woods, or keeping up with studies while participating in competitive sports or independent projects, learn how to get credit.
Martel Learning Group has built and lead families, businesses, schools, and educators through the concept of learning by experience. Have us help you bridge the gap between out of book learning and tracking credits.
Before, during and after, get the most out of an experience, an interest, or an opportunity.
