Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Community Studies for Rural High Schools No course of instruction in the public schools is complete that does not give the learner a closer and more definite knowledge and understanding of his immediate environment. This is a truth that we have in the past largely overlooked in planning courses of study for our schools, particularly for our high schools. Languages and peoples that are dead and activities and institutions that are remote in time or distance are interesting and valuable and have a proper place in our high school programs; but their place should be a subordinate one. So strong, however, are the cords with which tradition has bound most of us that we have continued to act on the assumption that no education can be acceptable or in good repute that does not include a large share of these dead and remote things and that the study of "the life that now is" and the conditions and circumstances that immediately surround us cannot have a legitimate place in school instruction. The result of this is that the high schools are turning out many boys and girls who know something of Latin and German, something of the civilization of Greece and Rome, and something of geometry, but who know little or nothing about the community in which they live; they know nothing of its history, nothing of its traditions, nothing of its industries, nothing of its institutions, and nothing of its possibilties for the future. The life that goes on about them, with its needs, its failures, and its suggestions, makes no appeal to them, because they do not understand its significance. Our rural communities in West Virginia have greatly suffered in the past because the majority of their young people who have gone to high school and to college, have not returned to them to give them the benefit of their training and their increased ability. They have gone into the towns and cities of the state and into the towns and cities of other states, to seek opportunities there and to use there the ability that they have developed.

Book Synopsis College Aspirations and Access in Working-Class Rural Communities by : Sonja Ardoin
Download or read book College Aspirations and Access in Working-Class Rural Communities written by Sonja Ardoin and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2017-12-20 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: College Aspirations and Access in Working Class Rural Communities: The Mixed Signals, Challenges, and New Language First-Generation Students Encounter explores how a working class, rural environment influences rural students’ opportunities to pursue higher education and engage in the college choice process. Based on a case study with accounts from rural high school students and counselors, this book examines how these communities perceive higher education and what challenges arise for both rural students and counselors. The book addresses how college knowledge and university jargon illustrate the gap between rural cultural capital and higher education cultural capital. Insights about approaches to reduce barriers created by college knowledge and university jargon are shared and strategies for offering rural students pathways to learn academic language and navigate higher education are presented for both secondary and higher education institutions.
Book Synopsis Innovation and Implementation in Rural Places by : R. Martin Reardon
Download or read book Innovation and Implementation in Rural Places written by R. Martin Reardon and published by IAP. This book was released on 2018-03-01 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume focuses on innovative school-university-community collaborations that are being implemented in rural places in the United States. A foundational belief that underpins the contributions to this volume is that rural communities contain within themselves the resources to promote and sustain vibrant educational endeavors. This belief has inspired a wealth of innovations that collectively offer a countervailing perspective to the view that global competitiveness is the preeminent goal of education, and that this goal is best served by “big education.” Since early last century, there has been a pervasive implicit, and sometimes explicit, assumption that rural places are bereft of the ability to educate children effectively. As repeatedly witnessed in this volume, in collaboration with universities, schools in rural places and the communities that both sustain and rely on them can appropriately configure the educational environment to optimally nurture the intellectual growth of children. The chapters in this volume are grouped into three parts that explore, in turn, the design features of innovative school-universitycommunity collaborations, some novel approaches to such collaborations, and the contours of parental and community involvement in such collaborations. Chapters discuss both larger scale collaborations that involve many school districts across wide -spread regions, and smaller scale collaborations that involve intensive engagements among the educators and members of smaller communities, and offer theoretical insights into the collaborative process itself. As mentioned above, two narrative threads run through the chapters: that effective collaborations address goals and aspirations expressed by those who are privileged to live in rural America, and that effective collaborations are oriented to building on the strengths inherent in the social fabric of those rural communities.

Book excerpt: The close-knit, personal nature of small rural communities results in school and community operating as a single integrated social structure. Useful rural school improvement strategies must, therefore, address needs that are recognized by both the local school and the community and must operate in a style congruent with the local setting. Although outside ideas and resources may contribute greatly to successful plans to improve rural schools, a high level of local involvement is essential in determining the specifics of those plans. This is clearly demonstrated by the thirteen case studies presented in this book, in which the strategies that have been effective over time in resolving rural school problems are distinguished by a high degree of local participation. The cases–chosen to provide good examples of particular strategies and also to represent the diversity that characterizes rural America–cover centrally designed, heavily funded programs as well as small-scale, locally initiated efforts in such areas as teacher training, the introduction of new curricula, and community participation in education decision making and political action. The final chapters analyze the case studies in practical terms and recommend policy and practice for future rural school improvement.

Download or read book Making a Positive Impact in Rural Places written by R. Martin Reardon and published by IAP. This book was released on 2018-03-01 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following on from the preceding volume in this series that focused on innovation and implementation in the context of school-university-community collaborations in rural places, this volume explores the positive impact of such collaborations in rural places, focusing specifically on the change agency of such collaborations. The relentless demand of urban places in general for the food and resources (e.g., mineral and energy resources) originating in rural places tends to overshadow the impact of the inevitable changes wrought by increasing efficiency in the supply chain. Youth brought-up in rural places tend to gravitate to urban places for higher education and employment, social interaction and cultural affordances, and only some of them return to enrich their places of origin. On one hand, the outcome of the arguable predominance of more populated areas in the national consciousness has been described as “urbanormativity”—a sense that what happens in urban areas is the norm. By implication, rural areas strive to approach the norm. On the other hand, a mythology of rural places as repositories of traditional values, while flattering, fails to take into account the inherent complexities of the rural context. The chapters in this volume are grouped into four parts—the first three of which explore, in turn, collaborations that target instructional leadership, increase opportunities for underserved people, and target wicked problems. The fourth part consists of four chapters that showcase international perspectives on school-university-community collaborations between countries (Australia and the United States), within China, within Africa, and within Australia. The overwhelming sense of the chapters in this volume is that the most compelling evidence of impact of school-university community collaborations in rural places emanates from collaborations brokered by schools-communities to which universities bring pertinent resources.
