Rural Teacher Corps: TARTANS (Teachers Allied with Rural Towns and Neighborhood Schools)
Created to prepare educational studies majors to respond to the challenges that rural communities face. TARTANS prepares students to be excellent teachers who are also well-versed in the distinctive aspects of rural living: understanding agriculture and the rural economy, nurturing the environment, re-imagining the immigrant experience, and networking among stakeholders in a community.
Through consistent programming, networking and instruction, TARTANS students articulate how they plan to become visionary teachers in rural areas.
