Abstract
This chapter presents a thorough review of the literature on the role that educational leadership plays in supporting the education of students living in rural poverty in the US. The author ties in her personal experience teaching fifth grade in a rural elementary school and the challenges her students faced. The anecdotal evidence contextualizes the information presented in the scholarly research. This chapter is divided into three main sections: (1) effective support from school leaders, (2) the role of teacher leaders, and (3) impacting students' home-lives. The realities of rural education are explained with the intention of igniting a call-to-action to not overlook the impoverished communities that are outside of city limits.
