 English Journal
Volume 94, Number 6, July 2004
Issue theme: Teaching in Context: Rural Schools Nearly a third of America’s public schools are in rural places; in some states, more than 30 percent of the students go to school in the country or in small towns. Each of these rural contexts is unique, yet the schools share certain challenges, including meeting the requirements of NCLB teacher quality requirements in places where teachers may teach several different subjects, teaching diversity in areas where there is little or none, and finding opportunities for professional development and support where there may be only one English teacher. The experiences and activities shared by the authors in this issue, although intended for students and teachers in rural schools, should be of interest to those in larger communities, as well.
