Abstract

Over the past decade there has emerged a considerable amount of research and writing concerning the preparation of teachers for rural schools. Surwill (1990, p.6) concludes that pre-service teachers are often "unfamiliar with the unique problems of rural schools". Many problems arise for beginning teachers facing employment in a rural setting because of "lack of familiarity with these areas" (Smith and Squires, 1988). It would appear that beginning teachers opt for employment in an area that is familiar to them.
