This study presents the stakeholders’ – school leaders, teachers, students, parents, and education managers – vision, priorities, and aspirations of quality of education, as well as the opportunities, resources, and support available to them, and the disparities and challenges they face in achieving the quality of education they aspire for.

Legal Documents

In special education and rural education interface we find important points about teacher training and their reflexes in the schooling of special education students in rural schools. This paper fulfills the objective of analyzing fundamental documents of the two teaching modalities in question in order to understand mainly what concerns teacher training. The methodological path used in the construction of this text was guided by documentary research of four legal documents of the two teaching modalities. In the policy interface, we saw that the investigated documentation shows concern with the quality of teacher training, although it does not deal with careers and professional development, nor with more specific aspects of the role of Higher Education Institutions in their training. In the end, it is hoped that the discussions presented here will help to promote new and denser research on the fundamental role that teachers play in rural schools.

This chapter examines the potential for positive impact from partnerships between rural school districts and universities, currently underexplored and overlooked. The challenges facing rural schools offer opportunities for school districts and university partners to develop, organize, and implement strategies for productive collaboration. Examining the rural, educational landscape through the lens of children in poverty, this chapter offers a view of urgency for educational reform. This chapter examines the challenges of high-poverty, rural schools; the rationale for building university-school partnerships with rural schools; insight into building trust with rural school leaders and teachers; and suggestions for developing practical programs which benefit children in rural poverty. Practical suggestions for improving the quality of the educational experiences of children in poverty are included in this chapter.

YouTube’s accessibility, ease of use, and depth of content are strong lures for music students. But do music teaching faculty and librarians encourage this and do they use it in their own research, teaching, and work? This study surveyed over 9,000 music faculty and over 300 music librarians in the United States. It discovered that faculty rank is at times a factor in faculty use of YouTube for teaching and research—but not always in expected ways. It also found that faculty and librarians do not entirely share perspectives concerning the quality of YouTube’s content, metadata, or copyright concerns.

During the academic year 1992–93 HM Inspectors of Schools (HMI) inspected 1208 class music lessons in maintained schools in England. These included almost 400 lessons attended by pupils in their first, third or seventh year of statutory schooling, that is pupils to whom the National Curriculum applies. HMI found a wide range in the quality of the practice in both primary and secondary schools. However, the proportion of lessons which HMI judged to be satisfactory or better in at least one of three important dimensions was substantially higher in primary schools. Primary class teachers often under-rated the quality of their music teaching. Some principles for developing good practice were identified.

В российском обществе сформировалось определенное представление о сельских школах как о группе ущербности образовательных учреждений, в силу особенностей организации их жизнедеятельности. Тем не менее сравнительный анализ результатов ГИА (ЕГЭ/ОГЭ), ВПР, НИКО, которые демонстрируют обучающиеся городских и сельских школ, показывает, что 30-ки лучших школ из разных регионов составляют более 50% ОУ сельской местности. Чаще всего около трети школ сельской местности завершают рейтинговые списки качества образования. Сельские ОУ при равных условиях существенно отличаются по уровню образовательных показателей обучающихся. В данной статье рассмотрено понятие «качество образования», которое является емким и многоаспектным. Рассматривая качеств образования сельских школ, необходимо учитывать их особенности. Основной особенностью сельской школы является видовое и типовое многообразие, и оценивать их качество образования необходимо с точки зрения подходов, принципиально отличающихся, от городских школ. Поэтому особенно остро встает вопрос о теоретическом изучении качества образования сельских школ. In Russian society, a certain idea has been formed about rural schools as a group of deficient educational institutions, due to the peculiarities of the organization of their life. Nevertheless, a comparative analysis of the results of the GIA (USE / OGE), VPR, NICO, which are demonstrated by students of urban and rural schools shows that the top 30 schools from different regions make up more than 50% of the OU of rural areas. Most often, about a third of rural schools complete the educational quality rating lists. Rural educational institutions, under equal conditions, differ significantly in the level of educational indicators of students. This article discusses the concept of "quality of education", which is capacious and multidimensional. Considering the quality of education of rural schools, it is necessary to take into account their features. The main feature of rural schools is the diversity of species and types, and it is necessary to evaluate their quality of education from the point of view of approaches that are fundamentally different from urban schools. Therefore, the question of the theoretical study of the quality of education in rural schools is particularly acute.
