Strengthening Colorado’s Rural Education Systems
A collaborative of rural K-12 districts united in funding education initiatives that advance prosperity
Rural education systems are stretched to the limit.
Every student across our nation should receive a great education, but many rural schools don't receive the resources and talent they need to help each child succeed.
By rallying around common challenges rural education faces, we make strategic investments into local education systems that fuel innovation and help every student get the opportunities they need.
Our Work
Six key areas of investment we call “Genesis Groups”
Teacher and Leader Efficacy
Building leader and teacher capacity to ensure long-term achievement and improvement.
SEL and Students At Risk

College and Career Readiness
Creating college and career pathways to meet the needs of your student population and local industry demands.
Accountability and Reporting
Putting the power of clear, accessible student reporting in the hands of local districts.
Teacher Recruitment and Retention
Strengthening the rural teacher pipeline through immersive experiences and streamlined pathways.
