Rural Schools Can:
-
Embrace place-based education. Place-based education is a way of teaching that integrates standard curriculum requirements with local resources, history and nature. It allows community partners, the natural environment, and local history to shape instruction. Place-based education has been found to increase test scores across subjects and improve students’ critical thinking and attitudes toward learning.
-
Foster strong relationships with other districts to pool resources and knowledge.
-
Join teacher networks to allow for more sharing among educators. More experienced teachers in the network can support rural teachers in curriculum design, enabling rural teachers to teach high-level classes.
-
Engage area universities to develop “grow your own” teacher education programs to get more students into the rural teacher pipeline.
-
Partner with businesses and higher education institutions to provide students real-world learning opportunities or dual enrollment courses.
