Rural Collaborative Network

A national network of rural collaboratives committed to advancing learning access, equity, and success for all rural students.

In 2017, 14 rural education collaboratives joined forces to create the Rural Collaborative Network. Together, with network support from Battelle for Kids, these collaboratives focus on innovative approaches to essential rural education challenges, such as opportunity gaps, economic self-sufficiency, educator talent development, and learning for life and work. The founding members of the network include:

  • Colorado Rural Education Collaborative
  • Eastern Shore of Maryland Educational Consortium
