Claire Ramsey’s Post

I am grateful for the opportunity to join the Trekking Group for the #Fulbright Insight Trip to #Nepal. We dined with Sherpa families in tea houses and lodges, enagaged in national celebrations with members of the US Embassy and Fulbright, and most importantly, partnered with Empower Nepali Girls (ENG), a nonprofit, to provide items such as school and medical supplies to families in rural Nepal that participate in the ENG scholarship program.

Coming up this week at the 2024, CIES - Comparative & International Education Society Conference, Kathlyn Elliott, PhD and I will be presenting on research we began when we met in Finland. Our session is called, “U.S. Teacher Activism & Advocacy on TikTok” and explores educator expression on that social media platform. We would love for you to join us tomorrow! #socialmediaanalysis #educators #teachervoice

With excitement, I wanted to share that our article, Opioids and School Leaders: Bricolage Leadership in Appalachian Ohio, is now available in the International Journal of Leadership in Education (featured below). Thank you, Dr. Charles Lowery and Dr. Mike Hess for including me in this opportunity and Connor J Fewell, M.Ed. for working alongside us! https://lnkd.in/gRuPfk6m

Rural Action and BB2C: Building Bridges to Careers recently put on the first, pilot internship celebration! Halfway into our internship funding, we have placed over 258 interns at 121 business host sites across 19 southeastern Ohio counties and through multi-state partnerships in West Virginia and Virginia. (Shout out to The Education Alliance!) Thank you to our internship funders for enabling us to provide these exploratory opportunities to students: Rural Action/Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC); Appalachian Children Coalition; and Appalachian Ohio Manufacturers' Coalition As one of our business owners said, "It’s about #community. Students aren’t always aware of what’s in the community right now, and to give them an opportunity to be part of that, to see the adult interactions, to take pride in what they do... it’s important.” Learn more and see the original BB2C post here: https://lnkd.in/gxvtZNTz Finally, thank you for bringing interns from your areas to participate, Jordan Spence with BB2C & NOBLE LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICT and Sandy Doudna with SWITZERLAND OF OHIO LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICT! This program would not have taken off like it has without you and others like you. #CommunityAndCareerConnectedLearning, #EcosystemLearning, #Appalachia, #thrivingcommunities, #placebased
