Abstract
Warren and Peel (2005) found that rural schools can effectively develop focused leadership support and training. However, as indicated by Arnold, et al. (2004), the knowledge and skills most critical to effective rural administration have yet to be identified. Targeting specific leadership skills related to student achievement might focus university principal preparation programs and public school district staff development programs on producing more effective rural leadership. Ultimately, this emphasis may improve student achievement and school performance in rural schools.
Because of the importance of developing highly skilled rural school leaders, this study will endeavor to identify the leadership skills of practicing rural administrators and determine whether these skills were related to campus student achievement.
