Our fourth year of the Wyoming Rural Teacher Corps is officially underway! I was excited to welcome 8 new and 10 returning students to the RTC. Our group is packed with energetic preservice teachers who are all passionate about rural education… it’s going to be an amazing year! #ruralmatters #WYRTC

So excited about this new publication, because it highlights a fantastic project and I had the honor of telling this story with great colleagues and the teachers who made it happen.

Check it out (it’s open access) at: www.frontiersin.org/journals/edu...

This week Rural Teacher Corps folks engaged in a rural teacher panel hearing from Lisa Lowenfels (Kelly Elementary), Bailey Iacovetto (RTC alum; SOROCO High School), and Jenna Schultz (Greybull High School). These rockstar teachers made a huge impact on our preservice teachers #WYRTC
