http://www.ael.org/digests/edorc03-4.pdf
Lawrence, Barbara Kent
(AEL, ERIC Clearinghouse on Rural Education and Small Schools, Charleston, WV , Sep 2003)
This digest suggests adapting the model of the ancient Greek "agora" to create successful small schools and describes several that have done so while reducing costs. These innovative urban small schools are the modern equivalent of the agora, where students and adults can interact with the community, share resources, and learn from each other. Strategies used by communities to keep their schools small and local include sharing facilities with other schools, reconfiguring large high schools, sharing with an education partner, sharing with a noneducation partner, sharing with the community, leasing space in the community, using the small facility in new ways, leasing the whole facility, and capitalizing on the facility. (Contains 18 references) 2p.
