About this title

Synopsis

This handbook helps community members and educators work together to improve small, rural schools. It is written in a readable style developed for a lay audience, but also includes the concerns that teachers and administrators face when working with community members. Chapters cover the historical and political factors affecting rural, small schools, curriculum considerations, model strategies, guidance on collaboration, and use of technology.

An extensive resource chapter provides information about partnerships; coalition building; needs assessment; consolidation research; options such as Foxfire, four-day week, technology, and more; and tools for finding information.
