(continued from page 3 - Rural Imperative Initiative) Over the coming school year, the Borderlands Rural Teacher Caucus will explore the opportunities and challenges faces by teachers in rural communities across the region, including Arizona and California. They plan to collect data through surveys to the fi eld and will host multiple Listening Sessions with small groups of rural educators in all positions and levels. The data collected will then be compiled into recommendations and advocacy guidelines that can be used as a resource that can benefi t rural teachers and policymakers everywhere. If you are interested in lending your insights and expertise to the Borderlands Rural Teacher Caucus work, we welcome your voice! Please look for the survey that will be sent out by both the members of the Caucus and through ARSA. We would also encourage more in-depth participation by sitting on a Listening Session. Contact Dr. Melissa Sadorf (msadorf@roadrunners24. net) for more information or to sign up for a virtual Listening Session. We look forward to sharing the work of the Borderlands RTC in the upcoming months. We know that in rural, we are Stronger Together! Through the power of partnerships, collaboration, and elevating rural voices, we are able to achieve so much more than any one person working alone.
