Laura Ainsworth: Rural School Social Work Practice, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Rural School Social Work Practice is a practical, field-informed guide for students and educators working in rural school settings. It introduces key understandings of what "rural" means and emphasizes the diversity among rural communities and schools, highlighting how they differ from urban contexts and from one another. While each rural location reflects its own strengths and challenges, the volume identifies shared characteristics that unify social work practice in small schools and communities. Drawing on local and national perspectives, including insights from inner-city contexts that experience similar forms of cultural isolation, the book situates rural school social work within a broader social framework.
