Melissa Harris, Allen Pratt, Taylor McCabe-Juhnke | Rural Education, Innovation, Collaboration

Welcome to Episode One of our Rural Education mini-series on the Learning Can’t Wait podcast! This week, Hayley Spira-Bauer hosts a panel of three incredible education leaders to help us dispel myths about rural America:

 

Melissa Harris - Senior Fellow at Transcend

Allen Pratt - Executive Director of the National Rural Education Association

Taylor McCabe-Juhnke - Executive Director at Rural Schools Collaborative

 

Tune in as our guests illuminate the many positive aspects of rural education, exploring how the "scrappiness" of rural schools inherently fosters a culture of innovation. The group also delves into the opportunities of AI and other technologies, while describing why collaboration between rural schools and communities is essential. 

 

Join us every Tuesday at fullmindlearning.com/podcast. Next week, we continue our Rural Education mini-series by discussing collegiality in rural schools with Michael Gonzalez and Richard Wright.

 

Show notes from this conversation include:
