Download or read book Gender Equity in Educational Leadership Perceptions of Female Administrators on the Role of Gender in the Career Advancement Opportunities in Public School Systems Across the Northeastern Region of the United States written by Bernard K. Addo and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gender equity remains an evolving issue within the United States, in spite of the long history of women's rights legislation, including the 1986 ruling by the Supreme Court that a work environment can be declared hostile or abusive because of discrimination based on sex. In the field of education, women are a majority; however, they are a minority in the upper echelons of educational leadership. The purpose of this study is to examine this ranking disparity and investigate the role of gender in career advancement opportunities in public school systems across the United States. This research is a qualitative phenomenological study, guided by equity theory. It utilizes an interview protocol and interview questions to investigate how female school administrators view the role of gender in career advancement opportunities across the Northeastern Region of the United States. The fourteen participants for this study were selected via purposive sampling. Six of the fourteen participants were elementary school principals, six were middle school principals, one was a superintendent, and one was a deputy superintendent. The participants were located in Washington D.C., Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and Rhode Island. Their years of experience in education ranged from fifteen to thirty-two years and their years of administrative experiences ranged from three to twenty-four years. The research determined that societal perceptions of women's roles in society, unwritten gender-specific requirements of administrative jobs, the patriarchal structure of the American society, discriminatory hiring practices, the glass ceiling effect, old boy networks and supports for men, and lack of female mentorship have perpetuated a system within which the career paths of male administrators are uninterrupted while the career path of females are inhibited.

Book An Exploration of Female Administrators  Perceptions of Their Role

Download or read book An Exploration of Female Administrators Perceptions of Their Role written by Phyllis Hurst and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent Ontario legislation by the Ministry of Education has targeted a goal of 50 percent as the minimum objective for representation by women in positions of responsibility by the year 2000. As a result,those few women currently in the field of Educational Administration have become a focus for researchers. The intent of this research is to contribute to the current knowledge and understanding of women principals in the leadership role. In-depth interviews with four experienced female principals were conducted centering on their perceptions and experiences on a wide range of issues that included: gender characteristics and impact on role, perceived differences as a result of gender characteristics, decision making, curriculum leadership, communication, the perception of others, and the advantages and disadvantages of being a woman in the role. Narrative profiles were constructed for each participant and analyzed. A description for each woman emerged by an analysis of common patterns and themes in the participants' narratives. Results revealed that the participants were able to identify and to describe particular gender traits that they perceived had impact on their role. Moreover the participants regarded their gender characteristics as facilitating and enhancing the performance of their role. Common patterns for all the participants emerged from the data that conveyed a strong feminine imagery of mother and espoused the idea of school as home, and staff and students as family. Leadership ii styles demonstrated an emphasis on collaborative decision making, open communication, and apparent difficulty and ambiguity arising from the role of Curriculum leader. The results of this study also indicate that personal metaphors ascribed and embedded in the narratives are significant in conceptualizing and interpreting the administrative role.
