It's All about Success! Learning and Living in a Small, Rural Alberta School.
Haughey, Margaret
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v42 n3 p252-66 Sep 1996
New Norway, a small rural Alberta school, has few dropouts, and half its graduates enter postsecondary education. Case study in Canada's Exemplary Schools Project outlines elements of school culture contributing to success: close community connections; principal's role; individual support for students; focus on independent study skills and task completion; second options for success; and staff communication, collegiality, and responsibility.
