Welcome to the Rural Teacher Resiliency Guide!

“Build and foster positive relationships every year with students, parents, families, colleagues, the community, etc. It is the best thing that you could possibly do to have a successful year. Also, ask for help if you know that you need it. I know that a lot of times we don't want to be a burden on others, or our pride may get in the way, but it can make or break you.”

“We know about each other's families and we take part in each other's times of celebrations and times of sadness. Being a part of a rural community allows for support like no other. I have the relationships already built between my colleagues, administration, and parents that have helped to ease the unknowns.”
