Abstract

In this brief, LEARN Network researchers share findings on the procurement process in rural communities, specifically, what sources of information decision-makers in rural communities consider when selecting products and who is involved in the decision-making process. The team shares practical takeaways for how product developers and rural education leaders can work together to ensure that both students and teachers benefit from the procurement of evidence-based educational products in rural contexts.
