Call for Articles: Expanding the Conversation: Rural Education Research: A special issue of the Peabody Journal of Education
In 2016, the National Rural Education Association (NREA) released its Research Agenda 2016-2021 identifying ten rural education research priorities. As the Research Agenda draws to a close, it is time to take stock of the state of research within these ten priority areas and to identify new research directions. In addition, recent political, instructional and health challenges suggest that new research is needed to support rural education in a post-COVID-19 world. For this special issue we invite scholarship that synthesizes research in an area of education either within or beyond the ten priority areas including:
- Access to counseling/mental health/chemical dependence services
- Building the capacity to meet the needs of diverse populations
- Closing achievement gaps in rural schools
- College and career readiness/preparation for post-secondary experiences
- Data-driven decision-making to improve student educational attainment
- Effects of poverty on rural education
- Rural school/family relationships
- Teacher/leader preparation for rural schools
- Technology integration needed to meet the needs of rural schools
