In Pursuit of Quality: The Agenda for Rural and Small Schools.
Tillman, Jerome
Rural Educator, v5 n1 p21-23 Fall 1983
Isolation, sparsity, smallness, and differentness hamper pursuit of quality rural education. Necessary basic conditions for quality education are attractive buildings with positive school climate; strong teacher/administrator leadership; core curricula reflecting rural values/culture; high academic expectations for all students; and use of standardized tests to measure progress/plan improvements.
