Abstract	For educational delivery systems to meet the needs of special rural populations of minority children, teaching and learning strategies must take into account the three factors of human identity, culture, and ruralness itself. Children who are members of special populations often have an even greater need than most children for recognition, acceptance, and development of self-esteem. Their racial and ethnic culture must be considered and they need to know about their own cultural heritage. Negative prejudices based on race, ethnic origin, and social class status permeate our educational system; these attitudes can damage self concept, sense of environmental control, and students' interest. The individuality of students must be recognized, their respective backgrounds accepted and understood, and building done on the strengths populations the children bring to the classroom. The academic performance of minority children is also hampered by such teacher behavior as using inappropriate curriculum materials and expecting less of the children. These special populations of children frequently come from homes not oriented toward school and educators must devise more creative, imaginative, and innovative approaches to teaching and learning. (The author has a distinctive perspective on the education of special rural populations as he speaks from his own experiences as a minority member, a person raised in the rural South, and as an educator.)
