College of Education and Human Development

We are excited to support rural schools, educators and communities across New England (Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut) in their mission to increase rural student success and cultivate thriving rural communities. We are particularly interested in how we can support the use of research and evidence in building policy and practice that helps to recruit, retain and train rural educators, build stronger school-community partnerships, and connect place with culturally responsive educational efforts in meaningful ways.
