A PROJECT OF RURAL SCHOOLS COLLABORATIVE & NREA

Rural Educators Across Borders

Part of place-based education is exploring the local-to-global context.

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.

It was great to see so many partners come together to think about sustainability in our rural schools across the globe. Thank you to all those who participated in the event, our panelists, our partners, and event participants! Sign up for our newsletter to be notified about future events!
