Policy and Thought Leadership
State-level policy action with a focus on equipping rural students to excel at college and career.
Rural Policy Action
We champion state-level policy change, host professional convenings, and support education leaders and policymakers. We leverage, amplify, and, when necessary, change education policy, with a focus on scaling and supporting proven and promising ideas for equipping rural students for college and career success.
Leverage
We analyze relevant state policies to identify existing pathways for Rural Collaboratives, partnering with state education agencies and elected leaders to find ways to incentivize and support through existing laws.
Amplify
We connect thought leaders to foster cross-sector collaborations so decision-makers receive the policy learning they need to enable innovation.
Change
We listen to stakeholders, collaborating with people with local knowledge in student, school, and community needs to write, modify, and advocate for state and district policies that enable innovative development.
