Interview with Sky Marietta -- PRTP31

On April 12th, the UW-Platteville School of Education hosted the Rurally Responsive Conference , which was sponsored by the Tommy G. Thompson Center for Public Leadership . The conference included a presentation by Dr. Sky Marietta, an assistant professor at the University of the Cumberlands and author of the book “Rural Education in America: What works for our students, teachers, and Communities.” Sky grew up in Appalachian Kentucky, the fifth of her parents’ seven children. She went to college at Yale, became a teacher on the Navajo Nation, and then received her doctorate from the Harvard Graduate School of Education in child development with a focus on language and literacy. Today’s interview is just a short snip-it of what she shared on campus. Be sure to check our show notes at for a link to her full presentation at UW Platteville from the 12th.
