Abstract	This collection of conference papers covers various aspects of rural education in changing times. The conference focused on changes and innovations in rural education and on reasons why rural educators can be optimistic. The proceedings report includes brief papers and workshop summaries on topics ranging from rural public relations to telecommunications; most of the summaries include presenters' names and addresses. Topics of longer papers include favorable assessments of rural schools' performance, a Nebraska evaluation of school size and resource use, and a survey of administrators and home economics teachers about their perceptions of current home economics studies. New high-technology programs are explained in presentations concerning robots, satellite courses, aerospace education as a motivational tool, and the implications of the information age on rural education. Topics relating specifically to teachers and administrators include: leadership team development, challenges and desired traits in rural school superintendents, teacher evaluations, parent involvement, interagency cooperation, curriculum innovation and expansion, an administrative approach to educating slow learners, and Kansas internship and inservice programs. Several workshops dealt with improvements or innovations in curriculum and educational structure. There were also workshops on learning strategies, special education preservice, occupational education, androgogy, occupational education, early failure prevention programs, special education, and economic development. A report by the Kansas Commissioner of Education outlines plans for educational development in that state. Plans for educational reform in Arkansas also are detailed. (TES)
