Section II Article

Abstract

In the ongoing discussions on rural education in Iowa and nationwide, school size is the key issue since it directly affects program quality. The authors of the papers in this section present issues on the ability of rural schools to provide diversity in curricular offerings in light of inadequate student numbers due to declining enrollments and teacher shortages. When this occurs, the question of quality surfaces and the consequences impacting the curriculum is addressed by one of the authors. Conversely, one of the papers considers in detail the implications of the new state standards for rural schools, and proposes that the standards will lead to less curricular diversity.
