leaders are educators who work full-time in the classroom and influence their school, district and the education profession in a positive way. They may or may not have formal leadership roles, and may or may not aspire to administrative roles or any role outside of the classroom. They are committed to working in their schools to improve the lives of their students and communities, and have largely done so without a network to specifically address their unique needs. With their participation and guidance, Rural Thrive is facilitating the building of a support network for teach leaders working in rural
