Why did my class get
cancelled?
We are often asked why a class
is cancelled and sometimes it
is because an instructor cannot
run the class, or there are no
opportunities to reschedule after a weather event. But
most classes are cancelled because of low enrollment.
Enrichment classes are self-supporting. This means
each class must create enough revenue to cover all
costs. Therefore, when enrollment is low, we need to
cancel, most often the week before a class is scheduled
to start.
Don’t delay, sign-up today!
By phone, mail or on the web!

Understanding Sensory Processing
Jane Lissner
Sensory processing (or sensory integration) is the way our
bodies take in information from the environment and interprets
it so we can function in the world. Sensory processing disorder is
a term that describes a condition in which the sensory information
is not organized so the brain cannot understand it. This
miscommunication results in inappropriate motor or behavioral
responses. A person, usually a child, will have difficulty processing
and acting on the information their nervous system receives from
the body’s senses and can have challenges performing everyday
activites. Behavioral problems, anxiety, depression, clumsiness,
uncoordination and other issues may develop as a result of the
disorder. This class will demystify exactly what SPD is; explain
how the nervous system works; clarify what senses are involved;
demonstrate how it presents in children; describe the treatment
options and break down sensory diets.

Adult Education is looking for Volunteers who can offer a few hours of time on a regular basis. Because our
programs are so varied, we have a wide range of opportunities available.
Tutors: We offer a variety of tutoring experiences for our community members. Some opportunities require
a regular time commitment, while others may only require a few hours.
•
Literacy Volunteers: Train and receive support as a Literacy Volunteer tutor. Our LV tutors commit to
our longer tutoring projects. You may tutor in a classroom, small group, or with an individual learner.
•
Work Skills Tutoring and/or Job Shadowing: You do not have to be a trained teacher or tutor to
improve the lives of our students. Do you know how to read blueprints? Understand how HVAC works? Know how to prep and paint a wall? We are looking for people who can share these important work and life skills with our students.
•
Retired or Stopped-Out Certified Maine Teachers: Running a Learning Lab or teaching a short-term
class will allow you to put your valuable skills to work in a flexible, creative environment with
nontraditional students.
•
Computer/Technology Tutors: We need tutors to teach all levels of computer and technology skills.
•
Classroom Support Tutors: These tutors work with an instructor in a classroom setting. With the
support of the instructor, the tutors work with students who need extra attention in the classroom.
•
ESOL tutors: If you can speak English fluently, our English Speakers of Other Languages can benefit
from having a conversation with you. Talking about current events, the meaning of common words, or
even the weather will allow the ESOL student to practice speaking in English, which is a vital part of
learning any new language.
Childcare: Some Adult Education students need care so they can attend classes, study or even sit for an
exam. We need childcare volunteers for both our day and evening sessions.
Getting the Word Out: Even though it only takes a few minutes to drop our brochures off at local
businesses, coffee shops, and gathering places in your neighborhood, it makes a huge difference in our
efforts to ‘get the word out’ to students.

Both Kittery and Marshwood Adult Education programs are looking for individuals who have a passion
for the nontraditional learners in their community. Join our existing Advisory Committee Team (ACT)
members as we move our adult education programs forward during times of great change.
Each school district has its own team that typically meets once every other month to discuss the issues
and trends affecting local adult education. Kittery ACT members must live within the Kittery Schools
District. Marshwood ACT members must live within the MSAD/RSU #35 School District.
If you are interested, please fill out a contact form found on each program’s website.
We need your ideas, insights and enthusiasm!
