Reciprocity Project:
rec·i·proc·i·ty: the practice of exchanging things with others for mutual benefit.
The Reciprocity Project is an I Am a Rural Teacher Pilot Program in
collaboration with the Welsh Government, Rural Schools
Collaborative, Teton Science Schools, University of Denver, and the
University of Colorado—Denver.
The purpose of this project is to explore the feasibility of developing a uniquely rural network of international teachers and school leaders that will work together in support of place-based instruction that connects learning to communities and the world around us.
Early support for Rural Educators Across Borders has come from The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Sixteenth Section Fund, and individual donors.
