Local Schools of Thought: A Search for Purpose in Rural Education

by Clark D. Webb, Larry K. Shumway, R. Wayne Shute

A dominant perspective operating in U.S. education is teaching by "method" or "strategy." However, as we progress past the first decade in our effort to improve the nation's schools, technical improvements do not seem to be the whole answer. This new book looks beyond improving technique to examining purposes, and to the role that the individual teacher can play in making a difference.
