"NCLB: A Study of Its Effect on Rural Schools--School Administrators Rate Service Options for Students with Disabilities" written by Lynn Hodge and Bernita Krumm for Rural Special Education Quarterly in 2009. In this journal there is a study being done on rural schools and the educators impact on teaching students with disabilities. They conduct this experiment in 7 different states in the west. They are trying to determine how effective the teachers are in rural areas even though they don't have as high of a degree than others even though there is a better ratio and it becomes more about the student than the numbers.

I chose this journal article because I like the idea of using a case study and facts to support my paper and claims. There are charts and data collected and displayed in this article to help support my reasons, whatever they may be. I will definitely try to include this information somehow in my essay.
