Abstract

This chapter examines the impact of successful university-school partnerships on the growth and achievement of children whose families live in rural poverty in Appalachia. It describes two different university-school initiatives carried out in rural counties in East Tennessee. Part one of the chapter details the process of building a county-wide literacy team following a needs assessment by university faculty and with ongoing university support; part two details the implementation of family math and stem nights across rural counties in the region.
