Maine offers some unique teacher opportunities. For example, according to the Maine Public Broadcasting Network, a new magnet school in Limestone has been designed to help students specifically in math and science studies. At Sherwood Heights Elementary School in Auburn, Voice of America reports that some kindergarten teachers are already offering instruction via iPads. To participate in these unique programs, teachers need continuing education and advanced skills, such as mastery of instructional technology. A master's degree in education can help them develop those skills.

Teachers can learn how to best instruct with tools like the iPad after completing the Master of Education program in instructional technology offered by the University of Maine. In this program, K-12 teachers learn how to evaluate and apply technology in the classroom. Lesley University's Maine location - in Oxford - offers a curriculum and instruction master's degree in education. Students can specialize in areas like literacy while simultaneously working toward this degree. Finally, Maine teachers who prefer to learn without traveling can consider one of the many master's degrees in education that can be obtained online - like Penn State's online adult education master's program. In this program, students will take classes run by notable Penn State faculty members.
