The Rural Teacher Leader Network (RTLN) is designed to develop a sustainable network of Eastern NC rural educators who seek to improve their practice and foster community with teacher leaders from across districts. Participants will develop an equity and trauma-informed lens to guide their own advocacy efforts, strengthen their leadership skills, and build the capacity of other educators.

The RTLN was made possible through a generous grant made by the Anonymous Trust. That grant supported the inaugural cohort and will support a second cohort beginning in the Fall of 2022. The cohorts include educators from Clinton City, Duplin County, Greene County, Jones County, Onslow County, Sampson County, Lenoir County, and Wayne County schools.

Programming is facilitated by the Dudley Flood Center for Educational Equity and Opportunity in partnership with Leading EDge Learning. The plan is to expand the RTLN to other regions across the state in future years. Additional outreach and convening support is provided by the Southeast Education Alliance RESA, which includes several districts represented by educators in the Rural Teacher Leader Network.
