Welcome, Rural Educators!

The primary purpose of the Pulling Together site is to provide individual educators and learning communities in rural areas with resources developed by the ten members of the National Network of Regional Education Laboratories funded by the U.S. Department of Education.

The resources compiled here come in many forms including:

• Web Sites
• Publications (written reports and executive summaries)
• Guides and Directories
• Toolkits
• Audiotapes
• CDs
• Selected non-R&D; resources

This Web site also presents Pulling Together: The Rural Circumstance (March 2003), a research document examining the condition of education in rural America.

In addition to the rural educational resources developed by the laboratory network, another federally funded Web site, the Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) Clearinghouse on Rural Education and Small Schools (CRESS) provides a wealth of bibliographic information, digests on vital topics, directories, and other products not only about rural education, but also about Native American and Native Alaskan education, Mexican American education, migrant education, outdoor and experiential education, and small schools.
