This nonfiction study outlines a field-tested method for supervising a group of hill towns, focusing on organization, data, and on-the-ground teamwork.

This edition presents the problem, the people, and the tools used to keep many small schools running smoothly. It describes how a supervisor visited schools, coordinated with teachers, and used portable folders and simple record keeping to stay informed. The work blends descriptive town profiles with a concrete method that could apply to other similar districts.

A detailed, repeatable method for field supervision and classroom observation in small schools.
Practical data-management tools, including portable folders and specimen record sheets for students and teachers.
