Rural Education 4 years, 5 months agoWhat did I take away from the Rural Practitioner’s Convening? I treasure most the new friends and common connections that I have made with educators from other rural areas. We have so very much in common. There is also an expectation of what “Can Be” that sprang from the rich discussions; the expectation to jointly develop and share strat…[Read more]

I’m especially interested in the low-aspirations discussion and hope to link this to our future-ready conversations next week.

Rural Education 4 years, 5 months agoGood morning fellow ruralites. Hmmmm, that doesn’t sound very rural. How about, good morning neighbors? Friends? Colleagues? Journeymen? If you’ll forgive the slight sexist direction of journeyMEN, the term seems to describe me and perhaps you as we begin in earnest this pursuit of learning more AND THEN DOING MORE in rural education.
