Rural Distress and Survival: The School and the Importance of "Community."

Miller, Bruce A.

Journal of Research in Rural Education, v9 n2 p84-103 Fall 1993

The survival of many rural communities is threatened by complex interacting economic and social conditions. Schools can play a significant role in revitalizing rural communities. Three approaches to community development involve community as curriculum; school as community center; and school-based economic development. Successful programs illustrating these approaches are described. (KS)
