Advancing Rural Education Cohort
Shaping the future for all learners.

- Build a network with other rural leaders to share strategies that will build knowledge to address challenges and discover opportunities
- Understand preschool through post-secondary education models
- Delve into early learning practices
- Develop an understanding of the value of industry credentials and early college experiences in high schools
- Gain knowledge of projections for workforce development

Cohort Leads
The comprehensive high school is the dinosaur in the room and is designed to prepare all students for a high school diploma. Yet we know that 99% of all high-wage, high-demand careers require training beyond a high school degree. If we don't hold high expectations for all students to earn more than a high school degree, then only a small percentage of students will be truly prepared for success.
