Abstract

This chapter employs personal narrative to explore challenges in rural schools that affect student self-efficacy, interest, and perceived relevance in math and science. By embedding abstract/universal concepts within the particularities of place—including storied ways of knowing—“intrepid” educators can bridge the gap between school discourses and cultural values in ways that foster identity formation in relationship to math and science. Recommendations for teaching and learning in rural contexts are explored, including the teacher's role as a mediator between place, story, and content.
