2009 PAAP Scoring and Standard Setting Venues Revised

Due to the economic situation in Maine, and the need for the Maine
Department of Education to cut costs, a decision has been made to merge
our two Scoring sites - Bangor and Freeport - into one Scoring session
at one site: the Hilton Garden Inn in Freeport.

As already scheduled, Scoring in Freeport will take place after school
vacations, from April 28th through the 30th.

Standard Setting has been changed as well.  This year, Standard Setting
will be held in Augusta, at the Burton Cross Office Building (behind the
Statehouse), on June 9th & 10th, from 8:00am - 4:30pm.


We Need You for Standard Setting

Special Education teachers, General Education teachers, Science
teachers, and Administrators: We still need educators to come to
Standard Setting!  If you're interested in gaining a whole new
perspective on the PAAP process, networking with other educators from
throughout Maine, and gaining hours of professional development credits,
we hope you'll join us.  A few of the other perks include:

*	Mileage to and from Augusta;
*	Overnight accommodations (if you live over 75 miles away);
*	Breakfast and lunches provided;
*	Stipend for evening meals (at government rate); and
*	Substitute reimbursement.
