Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We have entitled the fourth book in the series Rural School Turnaround and Reform: It’s Hard Work! Overall, the body of scholarly work and research that examines school turnaround and reform in rural areas is slim; as such, this volume adds to the body of work and contributes to new knowledge in a much-needed area. In this volume, we present chapters that speak to the challenges, successes, and opportunities to improve low-performing rural schools. Chapters range from conceptual arguments to policy analyses or research findings, as well as some combination of these or other ways to consider rural school turnaround and reform.

Book excerpt: The close-knit, personal nature of small rural communities results in school and community operating as a single integrated social structure. Useful rural school improvement strategies must, therefore, address needs that are recognized by both the local school and the community and must operate in a style congruent with the local setting. Although outside ideas and resources may contribute greatly to successful plans to improve rural schools, a high level of local involvement is essential in determining the specifics of those plans. This is clearly demonstrated by the thirteen case studies presented in this book, in which the strategies that have been effective over time in resolving rural school problems are distinguished by a high degree of local participation. The cases–chosen to provide good examples of particular strategies and also to represent the diversity that characterizes rural America–cover centrally designed, heavily funded programs as well as small-scale, locally initiated efforts in such areas as teacher training, the introduction of new curricula, and community participation in education decision making and political action. The final chapters analyze the case studies in practical terms and recommend policy and practice for future rural school improvement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indifference has not always characterized American attitudes toward rural children, nor has neglect always been the cornerstone of state and federal policy toward rural education. Indeed, for nearly a century there was an avid and influential—though ultimately ineffective—rural school reform movement in the United States. But in recent years, rural education has become a "skeleton in the closet" of the education profession. More than 14 million children attend rural schools that receive only minuscule amounts of the nation s financial resources and professional attention. The authors of this book carefully analyze the beliefs, assumptions, policies, and practices that have shaped and continue to shape education in rural America, concluding that conventional wisdom in rural education has proved to be considerably more conventional than wise. They offer pragmatic suggestions for changes in rural schools, in educational policy, and in programs designed for rural communities. As Robert Coles tells us in his Foreword to the book, they "give us clear, strong, uncluttered prose—a good sign that they are able to offer sensible, honest, unpretentious suggestions and useful ideas. They give us. . .a social history that enables perspective . . . and [they give us] practical, well-argued suggestions for a public policy both humane and capable of realization for our rural areas."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advocates for rural local educational agencies (LEAs) maintain that these school districts have many advantages -- for example, that rural schools are more likely to be closely connected to the community, parents, and students than is the case in larger, urban and suburban LEAs. At the same time, rural schools face a variety of challenges, both in general (such as lack of access to cultural and educational resources) and more specifically regarding current federal requirements related to the No Child Left Behind Act, or NCLBA, (such as special problems meeting the requirement for "highly qualified" teachers under NCLBA). There are many ways to define a rural school. The definition of a rural school can be based on location (e.g., distance from metropolitan areas), by size, or by population density. Targeting can also be based on how poor a rural school district is. Depending on the definition used, the number of rural LEAs can vary from 11% to more than 60% of all LEAs, and can be said to serve as few as 2% of all public school students to as many as one-quarter of all students. Rural school districts differ in important ways from their urban and suburban counterparts. Rural districts tend to have fewer minority students: while large and mid-size cities often have majority minority student populations, rural school districts tend to be predominantly white. Rural districts tend to have smaller schools. For example, high schools in rural areas have an average enrollment of about 200 students, while urban and suburban high schools average between 800 and 1,200 students. Similarly, rural schools have fewer teachers (for example, 20 teachers for the average rural high school and nearly 60 teachers for the average urban high school). Finally, rural districts are less likely to have special schools and programs. For example, nearly 10% of urban schools are charter schools, while less than 2% of rural schools are charters. One way that Congress has aimed to aid rural schools is through the Rural Education Achievement Program (REAP), which provides funds to small, rural LEAs (an enrollment of less than 600) and relatively poor rural LEAs (a child poverty rate of at least 20%). Approximately 4,000 LEAs receive funds under the Small, Rural Schools Achievement program (SRSA), and an additional 1,200 LEAs receive Rural Low-Income School (RLIS) grants. The REAP program is part of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), which the 110th Congress is expected to consider for reauthorization. One possible policy question involves a potential change in how rural LEAs are identified under the program. The statute specifies the use of locale codes to determine which LEAs are located in rural areas. The U.S. Department of Education (ED) has proposed changes to the determination of locale codes. If adopted, the new locale code system could eliminate some LEAs from eligibility for REAP funds (perhaps as many as 400 from the SRSA program) and add newly eligible LEAs (perhaps 35). This report will not be updated.
