ACCELERATING EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES
IN RURAL PLACES
FROM CRADLE TO CAREER

OUR APPROACH

Our place-based approach empowers rural leaders and communities to accelerate educational outcomes for all students by:
  • Addressing the program gap found in rural places to ensure students have equitable access to resources
  • Building the capacity of rural schools and communities to be data-driven and equity-focused
  • Aligning local, regional and national systems to ensure student success

Rural Summit: From Cradle to Career

The Rural Summit brings together teachers, principals, superintendents, higher education leaders, legislators, and nonprofit leaders to share ideas and strategies for ensuring that rural youth have the opportunity to enter school ready to learn and successfully transition from high school to college and career. Originally conceived as the Rural College Access and Success Summit, we have expanded our focus to include all points along the cradle-to-career path.

Rural Library Network

The Rural Library Network is a cradle-to-career initiative that provides participants the opportunity to grow knowledge via online webinars and training in core principles of place-based work. It also offers a forum to grow relationships and connect with practitioners working in libraries across America’s rural communities. Membership to the network is free.
