Abstract	This Maine edition of the National Council on Teacher Quality's (NCTQ's) 2009 "State Teacher Policy Yearbook" is the third annual look at state policies impacting the teaching profession. It is hoped that this report will help focus attention on areas where state policymakers can make changes that will have a positive impact on teacher quality and student achievement. The 2009 "Yearbook" presents a comprehensive analysis of state teacher policies. This evaluation is organized in five areas encompassing 33 goals. Broadly, these goals examine the impact of state policy on: (1) delivering well-prepared teachers; (2) expanding the teaching pool; (3) identifying effective teachers; (4) retaining those deemed effective; and (5) exiting those deemed ineffective. Maine has an overall "Yearbook" grade of F for 2009. Maine's major policy strengths include: (1) Requiring that all new teachers pass a pedagogy test; (2) Maintaining full authority to approve teacher preparation programs; and (3) Requiring induction for all new teachers. Maine's major policy weakness include: (1) Awarding tenure virtually automatically; (2) Failing to make evidence of student learning the preponderant criterion in teacher evaluations; (3) Allowing middle school teachers to teach on a K-8 generalist license; (4) Offering a disingenuous alternate route; and (5) Not ensuring that elementary teachers are well prepared to teach reading or mathematics. Goals for each area are appended. (Contains 124 figures.) [For the national summary, see ED511872.] (ERIC).
