Schaefer – Welcome to the Research Symposium

Schaefer, Watkins, Williams, Gephardt, Harmon - The i3 Program: Presenting an Opportunity to Link Research, Practice, and Policy-making in Rural Education The field of education needs more rigorous research focused on rural children and youth. The i3 Program has funded research aimed at improving the educational attainment-related outcomes of rural children and youth. i3 researchers focusing on rural education have promising practices that need to be shared broadly to practitioners and policymakers; you'll hear updates on 2 i3 grantee research efforts in different areas and with diverse populations. Policymakers need to meet the educational needs of rural children and youth, acknowledging the unique demands of conducting research in rural settings and guiding policies in support of research. i3 provides an opportunity for setting policies based on proven research that is related to the needs of rural schools and communities. Finally, practitioner voices should be a part of the dialogue on what gets researched and how the findings are shared. Come listen to this exciting panel share perspectives on how to blend research, policy, and practice in rural education.

Discovering and Nurturing Talents Among Rural Youth and Their

Educators Gifted, Creative, and Talented Education is what we do at Purdue’s Gifted Education Resource Institute. One focus of our work is underserved populations, and rural youth are often forgotten in gifted education research. Many rural schools lack the resources and knowledge to implement a continuum of services for talent development. However, gifted education services can benefit all youth and teachers in a community, and committing to discovering and nurturing gifted and talented youth does not have to be expensive. In this Keynote I will address problems facing rural, gifted youth, programs that work, and research we are doing at Purdue, and I will provide suggestions for enhancing the discovery and development of talent among rural youth.

Anderson

(Special Lecture presented by SchoolMessenger) Showing How Awesome You Are: School and Leadership Branding

The digital age is making it easier for parents and the community to learn what happens inside the school building.

Using social media, schools and districts can more deeply engage with those stakeholders, providing a more unified

foundation for better relationships. It also makes it easier for professionals to tell their stories and take control of the message they want all to know about the great things

happening in schools and districts. Join Steven W. Anderson, author of the book The Relevant Educator as he will examine the current social media landscape and describe personal and

school branding. He will also show how to accomplish it easily and simply with little or no funds but having maximum

impact.
