From the Getting Smart Team:
"Gary Funk has spent 30 years serving and advocating for America’s rural schools. For the last four years he has served as the director of the Rural Schools Collaborative (RSC) since 2016. RSC is currently managing a campaign called I Am A Rural Teacher. A teacher recently highlighted by the I Am A Rural Teacher campaign is Haley Richardson, a second-grade teacher at University Charter School in Livingston, Alabama. Gary and Haley encourage teachers to embrace the power of place to help young people appreciate where they’re from and the opportunities that exist there. Listen in, or watch, as Gary and Haley talk to Tom."
