The power of keeping sharp

In a rural community, PowerUps are often seeking ways to keep an edge because it helps them professionally to be challenged. They may have experienced professional development opportunities in previous roles and find that rural cultures and systems don’t always offer or reward challenges or growth. Whether it’s shifting an organization to using different technology instead of paper files or finding a group to offer constructive feedback or correction for accountability, there’s power in creating connections, either locally across the state, to support a PowerUps’ desire to stay sharp.
