Do Rural and Suburban Principals Approach Planning Differently? A Two-State Comparison.
Howley, Craig B.; Howley, Aimee; Larson, William
Journal of Research in Rural Education, v15 n3 p165-80 Win 1999
A survey of 604 principals of suburban and rural schools in Ohio and West Virginia found that suburban Ohio principals showed less interest in traditional-consensual approaches to planning, whereas rural Ohio principals showed less interest in the new technicist approaches. Suburban West Virginia principals favored the new technicist approach, whereas rural West Virginia principals prefered the organized anarchy approach. (TD)
