| dc.description | Rural schools in Alberta face unique challenges such as decreased funding linked to declining enrollment, obstacles in attracting and retaining teachers, and difficulty providing diverse programs. Despite such challenges, many rural schools have proven sustainable and resilient. Through innovative and creative responses, such as place-based pedagogy and community partnerships, there are examples of rural schools that have successfully navigated the trials inherent in rural education. This research project is a case study of a remote, rural Alberta school implementing a school-based agriculture program. Through community partnerships, New Haven Community School developed a school-based agriculture program to re-engage the community, increase student engagement and success, and develop career pathways for students. | |
