Description
"This volume highlights the unique opportunities rural communities, rural schools, rural universities, and regional providers have to establish partnerships to give all rural stakeholders a seat at the table to improve their communities. The spotlight of stories of challenge and success becomes the blueprint for regional change."-Allen Pratt, executive director, National Rural Education Association "Hartman and Klein have assembled a coherent set of work that comprehends and affirms the assets that rural context offers. This book has much to teach us all-not just in terms of the findings presented by the editors and the contributing chapter authors, but in terms of how to do authentically rural research that can produce actionable results that impact schools and communities."-Jerry Johnson, Phoebe Moore Dail Distinguished Professor in Rural Education, East Carolina University
