What's Yours and What's Mine: Rural Governance for District Improvement

• In Event: Rural Leadership and Governance During Challenging Times and Change

Abstract

This mixed methods exploratory case study illuminates work of educational governance in a rural school district that has experienced dramatic improvement over the past five years. As such, we offer practical insights about how these leaders share the work of school improvement and effective educational governance and theoretical insights about rurality, leadership, and governance from an organizational systems thinking perspective.
