A newly funded DRK-12 study is looking for teachers in grades 3-5 teaching in rural schools across California who have an interest in sustaining and improving their NGSS-aligned science and engineering instruction. This study is about the persistence of professional learning outcomes in science and engineering instruction for grades 3-5 science teachers in rural schools across 4 states (California, North Dakota, Wyoming, and Montana). We are especially interested in investigating the extent to which modest supports that our team provides to teachers may influence the sustainability of professional learning outcomes over time. If you or any teachers you know are interested, please fill out this quick survey to express your interest.

This year’s Literacy in Place contest has the theme of Eat, Dance, and Be Rural: Celebrating Diverse Rural Cultures. The submission portal will open on the Literacy In Place website from July 1, 2023 to December 1, 2023, with winners announced in February 2024.

Would you like to take part in a research study to collect rural teachers' descriptions of the usefulness, ease of use, and actual usage behavior of classroom technology? Your participation in this study is voluntary. All participants will receive a $5 Starbucks gift card that will be sent via email after the interview and questionnaire are completed. All data in this study will be protected by assigning each participant a number. Names of participants and names of schools where data is collected will not be used in the research paper.
