What does art teaching mean in the context of rural China and how are art classes a benefit for children? I grew up in an urban Chinese city and had opportunities for a good education that included the arts. In China, there is a big difference between rural and urban education, and there are many rural places without conditions to build schools and they to teach children in very poor environments. Some people in rural places have never heard about art education. I wondered how the arts could be taught in rural schools and what method would be most appropriate for the students. I began my research by asking: What occurs when an art curriculum based on expeditionary learning methods is facilitated in Chinese rural elementary schools? My participatory action research took place in a rural elementary school in Shuanghe Town, Sichuan Province, China. In Summer 2013 I spent 11 days with nearly 500 students in this school and I used the model lesson, "Austin's Butterfly" from the Expeditionary Learning Schools in the United States to teach 274 local students from Grades 1 to 5. I collected many different resources as my research data. I took photographs at the school, recorded my teaching videos, collected students' artwork, and conducted interviews with students and teachers. In order to understand the effect of my teaching directly, I asked the students to draw a butterfly before and after I used the teaching model. Also, I compared their drawings from different grades, hoping to figure out for which students the teaching method of Expeditionary Learning is suitable. Through my research, I found that the teaching method championed by Expeditionary Learning can effectively improve the quality of the education for children in China's rural areas. I also found that teachers need professional development in order to teach the arts well. A good art teaching model can help rural schools that are in dire need of assistance in their art education. After my research in a rural school, I now know more about local students' and teachers' real lives and the benefits of art classes in school. As a student engaging in educational research, I hope more people will strive to improve the quality of education for rural children in the future. I hope my research results could serve as reference materials to help others carry out further thinking and discussion.

Excerpt from Teaching in Rural Schools The United States Census Bureau classifies as living under rural conditions all persons living in the open country and in towns and villages having less that 2500 inhabitants. On this basis, according to the census of 1910, 53.7 per cent of the population of the United States was classed as rural, and the figures probably have not changed materially since that date. In the last printed report of the United States Commissioner of Education it was stated that, during the preceding year, 58.4 per cent of the children enrolled in the public schools of the United States were enrolled in schools classified by the Census Bureau as rural, while of the 600,000 teachers employed, 60 per cent were employed in these rural communities. Approximately eighteen million children were enrolled in these same schools, and about 95 per cent of these were in the elementary grades. When we turn from a consideration of the United States as a whole to a consideration of the individual States, we find that in 34 out of the 48 States more than 50 per cent of the population was living, in 1910, under conditions classed as rural, and in 17 of the 48 States the number so living exceeded 75 per cent of the whole. In 11 States the number exceeded 80 percent of the whole. In the 17 States in which the population was more than 75 per cent rural, from 75 to 80 per cent of the teachers and children are working in rural schools. Still more, approximately 215,000 of the 600,000 teachers employed in all public schools in the United States are to-day working in one-teacher rural schools.

This teacher education textbook invites preservice and beginning teachers to think critically about the impact of rurality on their work and provides an overview of what it means to live, teach, learn, and thrive in rural communities. This book underscores the importance of teaching in rural schools as an act of social justice—work that dismantles spatial barriers to economic, social, and political justice. Teaching in Rural Places begins with a foundational section that addresses the importance of thinking about rural education in the U.S. as an educational environment with particular challenges and opportunities. The subsequent chapters address rural teaching within concentric circles of focus—from communities to schools to classrooms. Chapters provide concrete strategies for understanding rural communities, valuing rural ways of being, and teaching in diverse rural schools by addressing topics such as working with families, building professional networks, addressing trauma, teaching in multi-grade classrooms, and planning place-conscious instruction. The first of its kind, this comprehensive textbook for rural teacher education is targeted toward preservice and beginning teachers in traditional and alternative teacher education programs as well as new rural teachers participating in induction and mentoring programs. Teaching in Rural Places will help ensure that rural students have the well-prepared teachers they deserve.

An art course was adapted from the Manitoba curriculum for grade 9 and delivered via teleconferencing to three small, geographically isolated schools in Birdtail River School Division, Manitoba. Participants included 1 adult planning to study art at a community college and 38 students in grades 8-10 at a German-speaking Hutterian K-10 school, a French-speaking K-11 school, and an English-speaking college preparatory school. The course was based on previous experience with an experimental teleconference art course, a review of practices of teaching art by distance education, and consultation with 11 Manitoba teachers who had taught other subjects via teleconferencing. Course design involved writing workbook modules that could also be completed via independent study, selection of texts and art reproduction kits for purchase by participating schools, preparation of supplementary visual displays, and planning of strategies to increase interactions between teacher and students and among students from different sites. Implementation steps included preliminary visits to each site for classroom preparation and orientation of students and class proctors, preparation of detailed proctor guides, meetings with principals to gain their support, and arrangements to transport student art assignments. Course evaluations by the teacher, students, and proctors indicated that teleconferencing, while no one's method of choice, was a viable delivery method producing results similar to those in regular classrooms. Recommendations relate to the status of teleconference courses in schools, provision of quality resources, and the search for appropriate models for teleconference courses. Contains 31 references. Appendices include evaluation questionnaires and course materials. (SV)
