The retreat was postponed one week because of a blizzard that shut down some of South Dakota&#8217;s Interstate highways. Fortunately, we had planned for a snow-date!

This experience certainly rewrote my definition of what it means to be rural. For me, rural has always been the vast West River prairie and the seemingly endless fields of corn and beans that cover East River, South Dakota. At this conference, I was introduced to other areas of this country [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Revisioning Writing in Rural Landscapes
by Dixie Linn-Norberg, White River
In the closing session of the Rural Sites Conference, one of the questions Joyce Sheehey (High Plains WP) asked us to write about was how the conference had broadened our thinking about teaching and learning in rural schools.
I wrote, “Rural Sites has already provided me with a [...]]]></description>

On a blustery day in November two small town girls from South Dakota—myself from Lennox, and my friend and fellow teacher-consultant Karen Rahn from Rutland, set out for a trip to Nashville, Tennessee. Our destination was not Opryland or the Country Music Hall of Fame, but instead the National Writing [...]]]></description>

During my time at the National Writing Project in Nashville, Tennessee, I attended an informative and worthwhile session entitled,
&#8220;The Invitational Summer Institute: Developing Teacher-Consultants from Interviews to In-service&#8221; (apparently the name &#8220;Start to Finish: Creating Teacher-Consultants&#8221; was already taken). One of the most worthwhile parts of attending the National [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Karen Rahn, Rutland Public School
A desire for change is what brought me to the Dakota Writing Project in the summer of 2006. I wanted to change how I taught writing, not because I had complaints or because someone in an upper office mandated it, but because I personally felt that I needed a change: [...]]]></description>
