The ten teachers/authors who participate in this book are part of the Nebraska Writing Project's Rural Voices, Country Schools program. This program enables these teachers to discuss their experiences in teaching in rural school districts. While the book primarily focuses on K-12th grade studies, there are some passages pertaining to Undergraduate studies as well. The book is broken into three sections: Place-Conscious Writing and Active Learning/ Place-Conscious Writing and Local Knowledge/ and Place-Conscious Writing and Regional Citizenship. The primary focus of "Rural Voices" is the study of "place-conscious education," which was formed by former teachers, critics, and reformers, such as, Theobald, Berry, Critchfield, Gruchow, Jackson, Dewey, Goodlad, Fullan and Olson. These predecessors are referenced throughout the book, however, it is this constant referencing, that at times, keeps the reader distanced from the current groups' immediate project.
