520 $a Rural school districts face challenges and possess strengths that are poorly understood, under researched, and different from their urban and suburban counterparts. In expecting systemic reform to proceed rationally, regardless of the particularities of local places, policy makers may have underestimated the power of local context. This study examines how rurality and "sense of place" influence rural leaders' beliefs about purposes of schooling, their conceptualization of achievement and their theories of action amidst state and federal education reform mandates in one rural school district. This case study utilizes data from three sources: semi-structured interviews of leaders from different "vantage points" within the district and community, document reviews, and member checks. Multiple data sources provide a cross-check of findings and develop a holistic understanding of the influence of rurality and sense of place on rural leaders' beliefs and theory of action in the district under study. Three spheres of leadership might benefit from systematic inquiry into factors influencing rural leaders' beliefs and theories of action: (1) local rural school district leaders, (2) external leaders who support them, and (3) policy makers. Exploring rural student achievement through a sociocultural lens focused on rural leadership has implications for the assumptions and conventions associated with education reform and accountability held by federal/state policy makers, and provides a basis from which solutions to the problem of rural underachievement can be explored.
