What are the problems, privileges, and possibilities of education in rural places? Members of the Rural Sites Network Leadership Team will guide participants in a reading of a current article that focuses on the challenges and possibilities in rural education. We will hold a discussion of the article that encompasses these issues and addresses the question of how rurality and a sense of place influence school leaders’ beliefs about the purposes of local schooling and their theories of action.
