Summary:

"Public schools continue to grapple with academic challenges and the ability to meet the overall wellness needs of students. Simultaneously, rural communities face imminent economic and environmental threats. Investing in youth presents an opportunity to sustain people, places, and communities across rural landscapes. Utilizing the power of storytelling, this autoethnographic case study examines the nuances of a nature infused approach to adolescent literacy learning. Seventeen students from a rural public school in Southeast Louisiana share their experiences in middle school as well as their journey living and progressing through the Covid-19 pandemic into high school. This text provides a model for an effective instructional framework which combines interdisciplinary learning experiences with community stewardship, demonstrating the individual and collective benefits stemming from an investment in students and providing them with access and opportunities to do meaningful work"-- Provided by publisher.
