Our Mission & Purpose

Promoting engagement through collaboration and innovation
​for teachers and students in rural areas of Alaska
to increase equity, learning, belonging and well-being.

AKRISE was created to bring together educators from small, rural schools across Alaska to collaborate and connect to improve teaching and learning.  The network brings educators together face-to-face twice a year to share strategies for tackling contextual challenges and sharing impactful instructional practices.  Teachers work together in job-alike groups to design learning experiences for students or engage in collaborative inquiry.  Job-alike groups allow rural teachers who are often the only teacher at their grade-level, subject or school; to collaborate with other teachers at their grade-level or subject area to deepen their practice and share their work.  After face-to-face convenings, teachers continue to collaborate virtually.  AKRISE is a sub-network of the regional NWRISE network (https://nwcc.educationnorthwest.org/nw-rise).
