Rural 2000 and Beyond.
Parker, Sylvia D.
Rural Special Education Quarterly, v20 n1-2 p43-52 Win-Spr 2001
It is time to stop viewing rural schools and communities as deficient and build on their tremendous assets--small size, an understanding of the connection between humans and nature, greater access to civic life, strong school-community ties, a sense of place and community, and cultural diversity. Examples describe innovative programs initiated by rural schools. (Contains 21 references.) (TD)
