Abstract
This volume is one key outcome of the Invitational Rural Education Conference, April 7-9, 1989, sponsored by the University of Northern Iowa, the Iowa State Department of Education, and the North Central Regional Educational Laboratory. Individually, the papers reflect the authors' knowledge of the rural education enterprise and its diversity in Iowa and their commitment to improving and expanding educational opportunities for all rural students in the state. Collectively, the papers depict the state of rural education in Iowa near the end of the 1980s from a broad range of viewpoints, including those of teachers, administrators, counselors, parents, school board members, legislators, state department and area educational agency staff, professional organizations, and advocacy groups. The wide variety of viewpoints has resulted in a remarkably, and perhaps uniquely, rich composite picture of rural education in one state.
