From Margins to Center: Advancing Equity in Rural Education through Research and Practice

Thursday February 20, 2025
9:45 - 10:45 AM
Room 16AB

This workshop shares lessons learned for improving organizational structures, leadership practices, and understanding areas of need in rural education. These lessons are based on a qualitative analysis of discussions and subject-area expert presentations that occurred over four years in a community of practice (CoP) for leaders of state and local education agencies and associations. These data sources draw from presenters’ original research and members’ first-hand experiences in rural communities. They relate to grow-your-own principal pathways, teacher workforce development and diversification strategies, raising and utilizing funds through a consortium model, leveraging community asset mapping in career and technical education, and supporting success for all students.
