Changes in rural science and mathematics teachers’ conceptions of teacher leadership across a professional development program
This study investigated how science and mathematics teachers’ conceptions of teacher leadership changed during their participation in a six-year teacher leadership professional development program. Using community of practice teacher leadership identity frameworks, 16 experienced middle and high school teacher leaders were interviewed four times over six years to determine their changing teacher leadership definitions. Using qualitative coding me…
The Moderating Role of Race and Ethnicity on Rural Adolescents’ Educational Expectations and Rural Residential Aspirations

Therefore, the current study aims to examine the relationship between peer and teacher classroom belonging and ability beliefs and rural youths’ educational expectat…
Understanding the Relationship of Science and Mathematics Place-Based Workforce Development on Adolescents’ Motivation and Rural Aspirations
One overarching goal for rural place-based education is to influence adolescents’ aspirations to stay in the community to help sustain and revitalize the local economy. The authors explore the relationship of place-based workforce development in science and mathematics classes with motivation (i.e., expectancy beliefs and science, technology, engineering, and mathematics [STEM] career interest) and rural community aspirations in a large sample of…
Teachers connecting with rural students and places
Our study explores how teachers’ living proximity to their school and level of social connection to their rural community may influence implementation of place-based education and student-teacher relationships in mathematics and science classrooms. Both quantitative and qualitative results from 4126 students and 19 teachers reveal homegrown teachers (live in community where they grew up) highly value and excel at student-teacher relationships. Co…
