Appalachia Educators on Poverty & Illiteracy Challenges

Looking to speak with educators about illiteracy in Appalachia Hi! I'm a reporter working on a story about ongoing efforts to end illiteracy in Appalachia. I am wondering if anyone here has experience teaching in Appalachia, and can speak to the difficulties of teaching in a community with high levels of poverty and illiteracy. If you have any questions for me, I can be reached here or at [email redacted]. Hope to hear from you soon!
