| Drawing on the expertise of some of the
foremost leaders in rural education, this book presents a practical framework for understanding lifelong education and how various formal and nonformal educational organizations in the rural community enhance this process. It maintains that meeting the educational needs of youth and adult learners demands a new and broader perspective on ways of fulfilling their educational concerns in a changing environment. Part One provides an overview and conceptualization of lifelong education, the
community, and their interaction. In Part Two, the formal and nonformal educational providers that comprise the lifelong education system and their uniqueness to the rural community are examined and analyzed. Part Three provides an in-depth description of available resources that educators and other professionals working in rural America can use to understand and enhance their practice. In addition, the final chapter provides a critical perspective on the future prospects for rural lifelong
education. |
