Recognizing the unique assets and needs of rural schools, DRK-12 researchers are working in partnerships with rural communities across the U.S. to support STEM education. In Part 1 of this Learning Series, researchers shared their approaches to working in rural settings and creating mutually beneficial partnerships. They highlighted both affordances and challenges to working with rural schools and offered strategies to keep in mind when building a research plan and budget. Following the panel webinar on January 24, we will have small-group consultations on February 13, where participants can consult with the presenters to get feedback on their own partnership work (current or potential) in rural settings.
