Kannapel, Patricia J.; Coe, Pamelia; Aagaard, Lola; Reeves, Cynthia A.
Journal of Research in Rural Education, v15 n1 p5-15 Spr 1999

Discusses the tension created by imposing generic reform measures on very different rural places. An appendix presents KERA goals. Contains 21 references. (Author/TD)
