Rural education with Jeff Hawkins and Campbell Scribner Report Card with Nat Malkus
Rural education with Jeff Hawkins and Campbell Scribner Report Card with Nat Malkus
When discussing education, policymakers and reformers often focus on urban — and sometimes suburban — schools and communities. But rural schools educate about 20 percent of America’s students, and urban reforms may not translate well to their unique circumstances.
In this episode, host Nat Malkus talks to Jeff Hawkins of the Kentucky Valley Educational Cooperative and Campbell Scribner at the University of Maryland about the unique challenges and strengths of rural schools, the history of consolidation and local control, and why rural schools perform better than urban and town schools.

Rural Educator Weekly Spotlight:
Call for Manuscripts: Expanding the Conversation: Rural Education Research
Call for Manuscripts: Expanding the Conversation: Rural Education Research
In 2016, the National Rural Education Association (NREA) released its Research Agenda 2016-2021 identifying ten rural education research priorities. As the Research Agenda draws to a close, it is time to take stock of the state of research within these ten priority areas and to identify new research directions. In addition, recent political, instructional and health challenges suggest that new research is needed to support rural education in a post-COVID-19 world. For this special issue we invite scholarship that synthesizes research in an area of education either within or beyond the ten priority areas including:
  • Access to counseling/mental health/chemical dependence services
  • Building the capacity to meet the needs of diverse populations
  • Closing achievement gaps in rural schools
  • College and career readiness/preparation for post-secondary experiences
  • Data-driven decision-making to improve student educational attainment
  • Effects of poverty on rural education
  • Rural school/family relationships
  • Teacher/leader preparation for rural schools
  • Technology integration needed to meet the needs of rural schools.
In particular, we seek work that summarizes, synthesizes and critiques the current state of research in an area pertinent to rural education. Research reviews should point to new directions and shifting understandings of rural education contexts and intersections with the broader field of education. Reviews may be aligned with one of the ten priorities or they may make the case for new priorities for rural education research. In considering rural salience, authors are encouraged to address four questions:
  • Does the review support rural schools and communities in their education work?
  • How will this review matter to rural education practitioners, advocates, and researchers?
  • Does this review expand, strengthen, or complicate our understanding of rural education?
  • Does the review avoid stereotypes of rural places and add to an understanding of rural as rich and complex?
