Abstract

How do we conceptualize the development of rural educational leaders? How do we ensure students living in rural America have access to world-class instruction in a complex and rapidly shifting world? What do we need to do differently to provide transformative educational experiences for rural teachers, students, and families? In Developing Rural School Leaders: Building Capacity Through Transformative Leadership Coaching, Klar and Huggins (2020) merge the best of theory and practice to create a framework for rural educational leadership development for both educational leadership preparation programs and for practicing rural school leaders. Their book provides a comprehensive educational leadership model with contextual applications, which helps to close the theory-practice gap that often plagues education.
