On behalf of my work with the Rural Schools Collaborative’s Young Educator’s advisory council, I was asked if I wanted to take part in an interview to help explain what it is like to be a Rural Educator in the world that we have today. I took the opportunity to help explain what I was seeing as an educator and to also reflect on what other rural educators have done to help me in my own career. Check the story out!
