Abstract

McConaghy suggests that improving quality learning outcomes for students in NSW rural and remote schools requires 'bold pedagogical solutions ... developed in and for the specific contexts of rural NSW schooling' (2002, p.3). This paper seeks to identify elements of this pedagogical solution that could be incorporated into preservice preparation courses as 'teacher preparation ... is of real and growing importance in the provision of rural and remote schooling' (Green, in preface to Boyian, 2003, p.1). Specifically it addresses pedagogies that are based on a multiage philosophy and the importance 0/ place and suggests these as elements to
underpin pre-service teacher education courses.
