520 |a This theme issue on rural education focuses on the unique characteristics and problems of rural schools, and discusses how the "top down" and "one size fits all" nature of the last decade of reforms has not taken these into account. To better address the situation of rural and small schools, various strategies are offered that involve distance learning, interagency collaboration, role of rural teacher, specific programs that are working, and a "bottom-up" approach. This issue contains the following articles: (1) "Rural Education: What are the Barriers to School Reform?" (Paul Nachtigal); (2) "Rural School Concerns Get Attention of Congress" (Joe Newlin); (3) "Distance Learning Provides Link for Rural Schools" (interview with Jim Mecklenburger); (4) "Do School Choice Plans Ignore Rural School Needs?" (Dori Nielson); (5) "Minnesota District Models Interagency Collaboration" (Sherry Freeland Walker); (6) "Rural Teachers Play Critical Role in Education Reform" (David Leo-Nyquist); (7) "Teaching in Appalachia Illustrates Extreme of Rural Problems" (Christine Morgenweck); (8) "Rural Schools Work on 'Bottom-Up' Change" (Jacqueline D. Spears); (9) "Rural Schools Lead Reform Effort in Alabama" (Jack Shelton); (10) "A Portrait of Rural Schools"; and (11) "ECS Helping States Bring Rural Schools into Reform Effort" (Chris Pipho). Contains photographs. (TD)
